Resurrecting thread to ask a question I'm not finding an answer to.

Regarding a new Seaskin Nova suit that came with a Sitech trigon valve installed... the hose port on the valve was installed facing the rear of the pant leg.

With the stiff "corrugated" Sitech hose attached, if I want to route the hose thru an immediately adjacent access hole in my thermals (added the option with my suit/thermals order) the default port/hose direction doesn't seem ideal.

Why would Seaskin install the valve with the hose port facing the rear of the leg instead of maybe upward or at least more in the direction of where you would normally want to route the hose?
