Nothing against the Fumoto valve Joe, I have one myself & think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread...however, I use the one with a nipple on it & it does hang down almost an inch lower than the bottom of the pan.
In my usage application, every inch of ground clearance matters & any unprotected protrusion is a potential strap ride back to civilization.
