Can filter regulator be mounted vertical

Only have seen them mounted horizontal but does it matter?

You can mount the regulator vertical or any other direction. If it is a normal type filter then it relies on gravity to trap water in the bowl so it should always be mounted horizontal. If its a decent type dryer then it could be mounted horizontal. Another suggestion is try to find the manufacturer and model and google it to see what they recommend. Hope this helps :drink: Mark
 
Does it come with a mounting kit? That would tell you recommended position.
 
No kit just the filter and it has a bracket attached but no instructions. Mounted to the frame rail in rear.
 
I can tell you horizontally, with male in, female out works fine. Are you wanting to mount it vertically? If so, I would suggest the outlet be pointed up, simply easier to bleed air out.
