Thanks, Allen - that's awesome. I'll cut it out and install it upright. It works fine now, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks, Allen - that's good to know. OK, I'll check it. I assumed it was an electronic sensor like a MAF in a car. Is it mechanical? Looks like I'll be changing out that fitting after all...

Time will tell - I used the red all-purpose. In my haste I installed the T with the hayward flow switch upside down. Is that going to be a problem?
