To broaden the question, can push button valves generally be used with airflow in either direction?

You can always call the help line or send a email or build your own.

I used that one for my hammer valve gun... I do not believe it can be used either way though. Considering that it gets harder and harder to open as pressure increases, pressure from the wrong side would likely just open the valve and go right out the other port.
