HD Petcock Problem
New HD owner wants to know which end of the petcock lever is the pointer. Does the handle point to the position (i.e. "cover" it)?
Or does the opposite end of the handle point to the position?
I can read the positions (On, Off, Res), I just don't know how which way the lever points.

Yeah mine above or others like it that have some kind of mark on them kind of make it a no brainer... once you notice theres a mark on them lol I have had some that werent marked, but within a couple minutes, if you thought about it you could figure it out. None of the ones that Ive had would spin all the way around. The one above will only spin tail up, tail down, or tail left for instance... so because the off position is to the right and the tail will not turn to that side that tells you which end is has to be the pointer end. But it also cold be as simple too as what JohnMN said, the handle end that you grip is the tail end and the other end is the pointer end, I honestly just have never noticed if that was always or even generally true.. Ive always just check it the other way if there was no mark on it.
