When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 172.5° or 187.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Bing 丙 or Ding 丁. When a reading falls within 1° of either boundary, measure again at several points before setting polarity.
Once polarity is set, every room, door or item lying within the 172.5° – 187.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Wu.

Questions about Wu
Is a house facing 180° a South-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The South spans 45° (157.5° – 202.5°) and holds three mountains, Bing, Wu, Ding; a house facing 180° is in Wu. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Wu sit on?
It sits Zi 子, 352.5° – 7.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
Whose birth-year mountain is Wu?
It belongs to people born in a Wu (Horse) year, counted from the Start of Spring rather than Lunar New Year. When the main door or an active, heavy item falls exactly in Wu, say precisely whose Wu birth-year mountain it touches.
