20 gallon SS Brewtech Infussion mash tun

Anyone else here have one? If so can you confirm that the drain valve is supposed to angle down? None of the photos I find online have a good picture of it from the side. Their support staff says this is correct.

Is there a dip tube on the inside of the tun, does it run to a false bottom? As long as it is draining and not leaking it wouldn't matter if it is a bit angled.

Looks like that may be a Swagelok bulkhead fitting?

I'd have to take a photo. The center drain leads to this. It actually drains underneath the bottom of the mash tun. My friend has the 10 gallon version and this doesn't have an angle on his.
