How Do You Install an Eccentric Reducer ?

How is an eccentric reducer installed in your line ? Is the flat part supposed to be on top, bottom or the side ? Arguments to orient the eccentric reducer one way or the other area plentiful and have been raging for as long as I can remember in my various work assignments.
