: Comfort calc.com forum, states I dont need it for a low pressure steam system. I dont know. I may just install vertical and see what happens unless there are some other suggestions? Any new hlp is appreciated
I moved some piping and installed the back flow in the horizontal position as in the picture. Honeywell was no help here.
