What is Water Hammer?
The noise from banging pipes is caused by shocks of high
speed water flowing in the piping system when a fixture is
suddenly closed. Sudden stoppage of the water (a non-
compressible liquid) flowing at a given pressure and veloc-
ity causes a surge or spike of water and is called water
hammer. When this occurs, a pressure wave travels back
through the piping until it finds a point of relief.
Dishwashers, clothes washers, fast closing positive shutoff
valves incorporated in the plumbing system all contribute
to creating water hammer which is not only annoying but
damaging to pipes and appliances. Series 05 water hammer
arrestors provide economical and effective single fixture pro-
tection from the destructive and annoying problem of water
pressure shock. Utilizing piston style construction, factory
charged and sealed, the Series 05 provides automatic,
repetitive control of water hammer when properly installed.
