You can't put it in wrong. It comes already in the housing and only fits one way.

Thanks, I have the housing and the t-stat as one piece but I just noticed that there is a little dot that sticks out a little and just wanted to make sure it doesn't
have to go a certain direction. It will go in both ways so I was just curious.

By the way, welcome to the forum! Take a look in the Tech Folder there is a huge amount of useful information hidden in there.

IIRC the housing outlet points straight up so rotation should not matter. Is that what you were asking about?

Bill, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm going by memory. If you remove the t-stat, from the housing, for a flush it can be loaded into the housing wrong and the bleeder can in fact be 180 degrees out.

If you mean rotate it 180°, yes I think it can, and I don't think it would matter if you did. The vent would still work.
Here is the thread where I originally posted those pics. There are some more pics that might help.

This is what I meant and yes the vent would be 180 degrees from the way it was taken out originally. I can't say it would or wouldn't make a diff. I would rather not take the chance of trapped air that I couldn't get out. It was on the top when removed and that's where I felt it should go back in.
