The design of them will function best when installed in a vertical pipe, but they should also work on the horizontal aswell. The weight of the stopper is part of the action but alot of the action comes from the water pressure and the valve design. There is a little chamber that deverts some of the back flowing water above the weight, therefore pushing it down.
