ok just wondering if one can mount a valve sideways or upside down and not have any bad effects (works just fine) ? i would only use nitro for air supply.

people will tell me if im wrong.
but thats what i gather.
are you rotating the rail exactly with the valve?
the rail is your saftey mechanism for the valve.
again no expert just sayin.
Good point... say if there was a z lock.. then could one rotate it? Then if there wasn't a saftey pin understanding the risk lock tight it? I'm thinking I want to rotate a valve
locktight, not sure.Quote:

so you can do it, but that tripple rail is one milled piece so i pretty sure thats not what you are thinking of doing,
yeah it would be a good idea to have a zlock chanel.
The valve can be operated in any orientation. It will work fine. It has to be mounted on a rail and that rail must be rotated with the valve. The rail holds the on-off assembly in place and provides the spacing for the sear assembly.

if you set it up like a pneumag you can do it without issue. Hill's EP block works great!
:rolleyes:

If so you can leave the valve as it is and just fit a custom body with rotated breech port.. like a ULE warp but turned 90 degrees
