The accuracy of the flow reading will be affected by how close to any elbows or bends the readings are taken.
Accuracy can be increased by taking an average of multiple readings as outlined in the literature with the Pitot tube.

*Take 3 readings on each hole and average
all 9 readings for supply and same for exhaust.
*After finish balancing, plug all six holes with
plastic plugs provided with the unit.
