No it won't work properly. Really needs to be vertical.Is there any reason a flapper style check valve cannot be used horizontally if the flapper is still aligned up and down (like the photis)?
I decided on valves on my returns for cleaning and easy disassembly i have heard horror stories bout check valves failing. I know you have it might as well use it but maybe install unions around it so you can replace when needed if it fails best of luck and i agree with that style it would be best to place vertically
has to be vertical to detect change in pressure. I Prefer ball and other shutoff although with power outage you have to be home to close the valves.Is there any reason a flapper style check valve cannot be used horizontally if the flapper is still aligned up and down (like the photis)?
Do they fail closed?I was planning on a check valve after my return pump…still waiting for the new tank to come. Are check valves not a thing in this hobby? I’m a glorified plumber for work and deal with check valves. Do they fail closed?
