Recommended flow direction

To prevent water hammer when the valve is closed while the product is flowing, shut-off valves with a seat should be operated against the direction of product flow.

Valve Type N is designed for flow from the lower to the upper pipe, while Valve Type U is intended for the opposite flow direction.
