Yes, the Facet will free flow in the forward direction. My Corvair
mechanical pump draws through a Facet and I only turn on the latter for
takeoff/landing/steep attitudes as a precaution. The Facet also prevents
back flow but not entirely. There is a minute groove on the inlet valve face
that allows very small seepage....I think to prevent the valve from
sticking. Refer archives for details.
