Varem Extravarem LC Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor - Potable - 0.16 Litre - R1016828

Description

Potable water shock arrestors are designed to prevent water hammer. Water hammer is caused by shock waves running through the water system which create noise or in severe cases pipe movement in a system, reverberations are a series of shock waves in quick succession. The pressure wave in such circumstances can be up to three times greater than the standing pressure. Water hammer occurs when the flow rate is suddenly changed, e.g. when a valve is quickly closed; quarter-turn lever operated taps or solenoid valves are two of the main culprits. Reverberations occur when system components have moving parts, which respond to an initial shock wave by trying to open or close.
