Default Silly catch can question

I have seen a bunch of pictures of people with catch cans and they have the pcv valve either before the catch can, or they have it after the catch can. Did not notice anyone ask if the pcv valve is suposed to go before the catch can or after so I thought I might ask the silly question

I run mine before the catch can...not sure if it matters either way though.

It shouldn't matter either way, it just controls the direction of flow.

I put mine after the catch can to keep the oil out of it.
