vertical valve installation

Is there any reason why Hunter valves (HPV-101GS) can not be installed vertically in manifold at house. System: 60 psi static, 5/8 meter, 3/4 house line.

In my opinion it is best to put the manifold in the ground inside a valve box. This offers protection from damage and cold. I would suggest check your local codes though, they all have requirements that must be complied with.

Sorry for long delay I had to go out of town... not running off well. have already installed individual lines to heads. will put all valves in box at foundation. i would like to install some of these vertically rather than in a horizontal position. I could see no functional reason why they could not, but just wanted to make sure. BTW I am in IL.
