70% to passAn arrow stamped on the valve body of a water regulating valve indicates which of the following?
Aclosed position
Bdirection of the plunger slide
Cdirection of the flow
Dopen position
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) direction of the flow. The arrow stamped on the valve body of a water regulating valve indicates the direction of the flow through the valve. This is a standard convention used to visually identify the intended flow path and ensure the valve is installed correctly. The arrow helps the operator or technician easily determine the proper orientation of the valve within the piping system. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the purpose of the arrow marking. The arrow does not indicate the closed or open position of the valve (A and D), nor the direction of the plunger slide (B), but rather the intended direction of fluid flow through the valve.
