Positioning of valve stem below horizontal is not preferred to prevent
disposition of debris on the bonnet which will prevent closure of the
valve. Corrosion is also a reason.

both prod placement.
What are the basic differences between a E-6010, E7010 and E7018
electrodes? How long should each be dried after removal from their
“hermatically sealed” container?

hermatically sealed container.
c) E-7018 does not require drying after removal from hermatically
sealed container (keep in oven for more than 65 deg. for 4 hours);
however, if this is removed from the sealed container for more
than 4 hours then there should be dried at 260 Deg. ~ 430 Deg. for
2 hours and shall stored continuously in the oven at 120 Deg.
