Question 51Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) direction of the flow. An arrow stamped on the valve body of a water regulating valve indicates the direction of the flow through the valve. This is a standard convention used to clearly mark the orientation of the valve and the direction that the fluid will travel when the valve is open. Knowing the flow direction is important for proper installation and operation of the valve. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the arrow marking. The arrow does not indicate the closed (A) or open (C) position of the valve, nor the direction of the plunger slide (D), but rather the direction of the fluid flow through the valve.
