Yes but I can turn so that the 'on' text is on the bottom or top.I would guess on. Generally the valves follow the same orientation as the handle.
NopeCan't you "push" that valve in to indicate its on?
I know that's how my fireplace's works.
See my reply aboveI would guess ON also. Generally the raised portion points the same direction as the pipe entering the valve for ON.
The valve for my furnace you don't have to push in to turn from OFF to ON, for my water heater I do. My furnace is only two years old. If you do have to push it in to move from one position, then you would be moving from OFF to ON, so easy to figure out.See my reply above

No arrow. Here's another pictureJust above the words "off" is that a little arrow pointer? If it is, i would guess "off". Which way can you manipulate the valve (clockwise or counter clockwise)?

That's the problem, I don't think it's lighting regardless of which way I have the valve. Its automatic ignition.I agree with @CyCloned can't you just check the pilot light?
It's not 1/4 turn. 1/2 turn so 'on' text could be up or down. Maybe both are open?For 1/4 turn valves, the conventional operation is the valve is open/on when the handle is parallel to the pipe and closed/off when its perpendicular. So from that second photo, I'd guess its it's on.

Have you googled the furnace manufacture and model number for a manual?That's the problem, I don't think it's lighting regardless of which way I have the valve. Its automatic ignition.
