Watts LF05 Mini Water Hammer Arrestor with 1/2" Sweat Connection

LF05 Mini Water Hammer Arrestor with 1/2" Sweat Connection

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 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 LF05 Water Hammer Arrestors are designed to eliminate this effect. The LF05 features lead free construction to comply with lead free requirements.

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 LF05 water hammer arrestors provide economical and effective single fixture protection from the destructive and annoying problem of water pressure shock. Utilizing piston style construction, factory charged and sealed, the Series LF05 provides automatic, repetitive control of water hammer when properly installed.
