Straight Duct Before a VAV Inlet

This VAV inlet is close to [elbow/tap/transition]. Does the approved detail allow this arrangement, or do we need more straight inlet before the box?

Equipment Connections: RTU, AHU, VAV, Fans & Louvers 1st Year YELLOW

Watch out

Do not assume every VAV tolerates an elbow or flex connection directly at the inlet.
