Can the fluid of an LVM series compact direct operated valve for chemical liquids be flowed through either channel?

The direct operated rocker type is a universal type, so there is no problem flowing the fluid from either channel.
For example, the LVM10R1 (N.O. type) uses IN as “1” and OUT as “2” for convenience, while the JIS symbol (as shown in the catalog) is a double-sided arrow. Note, however, that the flow direction of the LVM11/13 direct operated poppet type is fixed as indicated by the JIS symbol (as shown in the catalog).
