Zone Valve

Can Zone valves be installed vertically?

Which brand of mechanical valve is more reliable Taco gold series or Honeywell V8043 F 1036? I have a radiant system that I want to put a zone valve on. My manifold is vertical. So I would like to know which would be the best way to go.

Thanks

Wood heat guy.

    zone valve

    We usually use the callefi z one zone valve which is directional but can be installed vertically and horizontally. Taco esp series are pretty good also. We also usually install it on the opposite side of the circulator.
