Can I mount my 40 inch RO membrane housing vertically?

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of planning and design of an RO unit for my yacht.
As always, space and access is a concern.
I have an area behind a door, which would be perfect for mounting two 40 inch membrane housings vertically.
I also though that this would help to keep air purged, ie, feed at the bottom and exit at the top.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Doug.

Rainman says you can with their membrane housing. YMMV

My single 40" membrane is mounted vertically. How you fit everything in is really a matter of where and how far you are willing to run high pressure hoses.
