The way these becketts are designed, it doesn't allow them to be installed upside down.
NO what I was referring to was the black valves that water is pushed through if you take them apart some things if your not paying attention you can put the actual beckett in wrong.

and I now see what you are referring too. for the air, you have it straight coming in from the Air pump. you should have a air valve connected to that air inlet when the line goes in to. this is how you adjust the air and the amount of air because Becketts will create a vacuum and cause air to be sucked in. the more the valve is open the great amount of air is able to be sucked in.
