I don't completely understand what you mean by that. As in an average Trumpet, the valves literally face upwards. In terms of how to put them in the trumpet, such as after oiling them, it is different for every trumpet. Often, the valves will have small numbers engraved on them, in which case the numbers almost always face front, or towards the direction of the mouthpiece. If they don't have numbers, they will often have some sort of notch that fits into the valve casings on the trumpet.
