AB is the feed

B = Bath flow to cylinder.

A = heating flow.

its got an arrow on the brass body direction of flow.
or
the paddle will open the same way as flow direction not against flow.

Ok was just the two port vales I fort I heard someone say there was a way you couldn't put them. Think your reffering to the 3port valves. Thanks for any help

You mean you can't install them with the actuator upside down.

you may have been advised you cannot put them with the valve above the motor (ie upside down) in case the water leaks into the electrics
