Results for tag: "Water Hammer Arrestor"

A water hammer arrestor is a plumbing fixture designed to reduce the shock of water hammer, a phenomenon that occurs when a valve is suddenly closed and the water pressure in the pipe is suddenly increased. Water hammer arrestors are typically installed in the water supply line near the valve, and they work by allowing a small amount of air to be released into the pipe when the pressure increases. This air acts as a cushion, absorbing the shock of the sudden pressure change. Water hammer arrestors are used in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. They are also used in water treatment systems, such as reverse osmosis systems, to reduce the risk of damage to the system caused by water hammer. The water hammer arrestor market is highly competitive, with a number of manufacturers offering a variety of products. Some of the leading companies in the market include Watts, Sioux Chief, Zurn, and Apollo Valves. Show Less Read more
