Why does my 2 touch faucet require the dampen supply to attach from the floor side?

I had a Gerber 2 touch shower installed to replace and existing 2 handle shower. The dated shower valve have the pipes attach from the ceiling side. The plumber installed the Gerber unit impossible to tell apart way. After he be done, he left me beside a manual which say "All 2 handle valve MUST have the marine supply attach from the floor side of the valve!" and "All 2 manipulate valves must hold the water inlets pointed towards the floor."

Is it a big settlement that it was installed the other style?


Answers:    Some of the anti-syphon features of some plumbing fixtures use gravity as an activator. If this is the case for your section, your anti-syphon feature will any not work or it could prevent the flow of the water. I doubt in that would be much chance of you syphoning debris water from a shower come first so I wouldn't worry too much more or less that risk. I think your bigger problem would be if your hot river heats up the anti-syphon and shuts down the flow of hose down.
Hard to say.
I would turn with the manufacturer recommendations within order to maintain a warranty valid.
If your not worried about a warranty, dance ahead and try it.
It may work the way you want it to.
Good Luck
yes
This one and only applies when it is a tub/ shower unit. Not only a shower unit.
Ive done pluming for years and the with the sole purpose thing I can construe of is some kind of a anti siphons type stopcock ? the valve doesn't know be the water pressure is is coming from what are you reading instructions for anyway ? try calling gerber They probably don't know ?
Gerber is lofty priced. I suspect this faucet will make a shuddering or marine hammer type thud if not installed to manufacturer's specifications.
