    Default Fitting Reg to bottle

    I need the flow meter tube to be vertical. And these bottles are side opening or horizontal.





    So is there any issues with running it this way?

    That's how I run mine. Haven't had any issues.
    Cheers.

    The regulator doesn't care which way is up. That's how mine runs as well.

    Regulators don't care about orientation. Think scuba diving and how screwed up the diver would be if the reg cut out everytime he moved.
