The pressure regulator on a top-mounted check valve is usually to the front or rear of the valve. Where the top-mounted check valve is a single feed, the side opposite the supply pipe would be plain. A top-mounted valve looks somewhat different from a side-mounted type. Below is a dual-feed top mounted valve, with both sides fed by lifting injectors:





Side-mounted check valves could be fed vertically, as Pete mentioned, or horizontally,as shown below:


Here’s an Elesco fwh-equipped loco with the hot water fed to the boiler via a side-mounted check valve:
