Ridiculess Question

Is there a preferred direction of flow with ball valves?

So it looks neat?;-)

I don't think so. But, I prefer the handle to swing in the dirrection of flow. Just makes a bit more sense to me.

I always liked when the handle hit another pipe and was unable to fully open. I usually discovered this at 4:30PM at the final stage of an install, with the system fully charged. It didn't take me long to look before I installed.....

how about clockwise to close?

and if you can only fit it wrong, then who cares - just make sure you can get at the packing nut - i use a lot of watts b61111's EAZY-SWEAT o-ring based screw together three piece ball valves - so you can swivel the valve body after the fact

The old tried and true method

to fix the valve handle that hits the pipe - bend the handle .

wondering

with that statement in mind I am now wondering how many bent handles I have left in my short career..:)

Flip the handle

the other way. Yeah, you have to bend the stop tab up, but looks better than bending the handle or chopping it down.

Would it be too difficult

to make a ball valve that has stops on both sides ?
