Honeywell V4073 Mount upside down?

[BuzzP]

Hi,

I am replacing a Switchmaster VA1 3 posn valve with a Honeywell V3073A.

I have worked out the wiring to covert between the 2 valves, but in order not to move any pipes I would have to install the Honeywell upside down (drive head at the bottom).

Is there any issue with this? I assume there is only a motor inside the head, and the seal to the actual value would work in any orientation, yes?

dont do it if the gland leaks it runs straight into the motor
