Monoflo Tee backwards

[Mike2016]

Hello everyone and thank you for any advise in advance.

I have just purchased a home with a loop and Monoflo in the basement.

System is working great without issues.

While inspecting the Monoflo Tees recently, I noticed the last radiator on the loop, has the Monoflo valve installed backwards.

That radiator does get hot but slower than the rest. Naturally I would like to correct this, however I read that this might be done on purpose on another forum. So I am asking anyone familiar with this setup, are there any good reasons for one Tee to be on backwards, perhaps some trick of the trade I may be missing. I appreciate any advise on this.

Cheers everyone

The only time you might see this is if the radiator being supplied is below the main. In that case both tees would be monoflo.

Thanks for your reply John, it is not below the main line. So I will correct this.
You raised another question for me, there's only have one Monoflo Valve for each radiator ( on the loop in the basement) and the second is only a Tee, should there be 2 valves for each? Should those T's be replaced with valves? Thanks again.

One is all that is needed if the radiator is above the main.

Thanks for all the info John.

Flipped the Monoflo T and now radiator is running fine. Thanks again.
