What is Water Hammer?

Size : 1/2" -2" (15~50mm)

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 noncompressible Liquid) flowing at a given pressure and velocity 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. The water hammer Arrestors are designed to elliminate this effect with Lead Free*requirements. Dishwashers, clothes washers, fast closing positive shutoff valves incorporated in the system all contribute to creating water shock which is not only annoying but damaging to pipes and appliances. The water hammer arrestor(water shock arrestor) Kwang Woon Series THREADED and SOLDER incorporates a precharged, permanent sealed air chamber to absorb the shock, The sealed chamber prevents the loss of air to the water and insures long and trouble-free Life.
