Default Ideal location to mount Jet Cat Cock valve?

where is the ideal place to install the valve? Is it after the fuel pump but before the solonoids? or where the fuel enters the UAT? or any else location. Also Is it better to get teh jet cat or festo w/ 6mm? thanks.

After the pump, if you wish to use it in an emergency to shut down a runaway you do not want to wait for the UAT to empty and you want to be able to stop the flow from the pump.

Like Mike said, Let it be the last thing your fuel goes through before going to the turbine!!

I asked the same question recently of JetCat and they recommended to put in front of the "T" for fuel and Kero solonoids.
