    Water vapor absolutely can go down when under pressure. It goes in all directions in accordance with the pressure placed on it until it equalizes. In atmospheric conditions it tends to be more buoyant than air. But once it’s sealed it does wherever it faces the least resistance. You can put release valves facing down, it’s just also really stupid to do that because once released steam will just go up
