Just a quick question regarding these hoses.
On some instructions they say these need to be mounted horizontal. Others it does not state 😕Whats the norm. ❓

Re: Aqua Stop Hoses
Placing horizontal or vertical makes no difference whatsoever as far as I’m aware. As you know, in most UK installations the vast majority of water supply points are horizonal anyway. I can’t imagine their orientation is effected in any way by gravitational forces. 😕
Re: Aqua Stop Hoses
The idea of the aqua-stop being mounted vertically is to ensure if there is any leakage from the isolator tap or the rubber seal, the water runs down into the aqua-stop & then into the machine (to shut off the appliance to stop further use & alert the user of a problem/leak). If the aqua-stop is mounted horizontally, any leakage can leak out without the water going down the outer hose & into the machine & therefore not alerting the user of any faults or leakage. It doesn’t make any difference electrically/mechanically which way its mounted, it just effects its intended function. Hope this makes sense.
