replacing a stop and waste valve

| Hey everyone. I am replacing a stop and waste valve, one with the little
drain cap, on my cold water supply line. Supply lines are copper and valve
is sweat on. Quick question I have before I do it and realize it is
backwards. Does the arrow on the stop and waste valve indicate the
direction of the water flow? I know the little drain cap allows draining of
the non-pressureized side when the valve is closed, but if I get it
backwards, it will be draining the wrong side. Just want to be double sure.
Thanks.
Eric

Yes, this applies to any fittings for gas, water, steam, etc. No arrow is
bi-directional.

Yes, the arrow should match the water flow.
