David, do you think that anyone has any data, any evidence of any kind that proves there is any optimal way to store a valve? As I said previously, there's 15psi of atmospheric pressure on the envelope pushing it inwards, and has been since the day it was made. In a household environment, I don't there is a big issue on storage, with the possible exception of using any packaging which could adhere to and pull off the labelling.
