Thanks Mint, I thought that as well, but ASHRAE has an entire section of fan discharge/suction fittings. Which implies that these fittings can be anywhere in the system.
Both look identical to me, but the pressure loss coefficients are different. I'm trying to understand why the pressure drop would be different if the air flow was going to a fan or coming from a fan. It's not a converging/diverging difference, because that is accounted for in the A0/A1 value...
