Re: diagram of how refill solenoid valve works

Nope Barry - that diagram is correctly marked. The port leading from the
valve seat is always the outlet (per the manufacturers literature).

This is what the refill solenoid valve looks like internally. If you
hook it up backwards water pressure can push the piston/plunger off
the valve seat, letting water flow uninterrupted to the boiler.

btw, tex, that valve is labelled incorrectly. you have the inlet and
outlets reversed.
