I have installed a new hot water heater.  The universal heat traps that came with it are identical.  Do the flaps both go into the tank, or is one reversed?

Hello:  If your heat traps simply have a rubber flap inside, water should flow either way and not care how you installed the nipples.  An easy test would be to poke on the flap from both sides.  If it moves easily both ways, there is no way to put it in wrong :cool:
