Flow factor parameter connector

Hi, Actually my doubts are about the use of the flow factor in family connectors.
I understand that the flow factor is used to reduce / extend the flow of a connector according to a parameter. And for that I want to use it, but I do not get it as you see in the video.

The flow effectively multiplies correctly but ... its direction goes crazy. I do not understand if it could be due to an error or misuse on my part.
I have created a pipe fitting that serves to parameterize a loss of flow. It is simple.

  

Can anybody help me?
Thank you

Jose M Carralero.

Of course, and grateful.
Here is the file rvt, note that a single section the system inspector gives different values of flow along the section.

Dear Jose

 

Thanks for the files.

Indeed, something is not correctly calculated. 

It is needed to be fixed by Revit dvlp team.

Thank you for your cooperation and I apologize for this inconvenience.

Rafal, thanks for your help.
I have not found any explanation, do you know if the flow factor parameter is a coefficient that multiplies the flow in the pipeline?
I intuit this way but I am not absolutely sure.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas
