Pressure Reducing Valve

[Winston]

Will installing a PRV on a veritcal effect its performance?

I installed one vertically a few weeks ago and it seems to be fine. I think they only don't work when put in upside down.

Hi Winston
Just had a look on Honeywell site and it says that preferably they should be fitted horizontally,if in vertical position there is room for pressure differential on diaphragm.
