    WATER HAMMER ARRESTORS

    LEHRY WATER HAMMER ARRESTORS is the term used to define the destructive forces, pounding
    noises and vibration which develop in a piping system when a column of non-compressible liquid
    flowing through a pipe line is stopped abruptly. The tremendous forces generated at the point of
    stoppage can be compared, in effect, to that of an explosion.

    The LIV-WHA-001 Water Hammer Arrestors are designed to elliminate this effect. It features
    construction to comply with 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.
    It incorporates a precharged, permanent sealed air chamber to absorb the shock. The sealed
    chamber prevents the loss of air to the water and assures long and trouble-free life..

    Features :
     BSP solid hex brass adapter or solder end connection for easy installation
     Approved for installation with no access panel required
     May be installed in new or existing plumbing systems with a standard pipe tee vertically,
    horizontally.
     Maintenance free – piston is the only moving part
     Air pre-load is 60psi (4.2 Kg/Cm²)
     Factory air charged and permanently sealed

    Pressure - Temperature
    Operating Pressure : Designed to operate on all domestic and
    commercial lines @ 150psi (10.6 Kg/Cm²) working pressure.

    Sizing and Placement :


    As shown, it has been established that the preferred location for the water hammer arrestor is at the end of
    the branch line between the last two fixtures served.
    The location of the water hammer arrestor shown above applies to branch lines that do not exceed 20 ft. (6m)
    in length, from the start of the horizontal branch line to the last fixture supply on this branch line. When the branch line
    exceeds the 20 ft. (6m) length, an additional water hammer arrestor should be used. This practice is best defined by
    two rules which have been established to cover the placement of water hammer arrestors.
