Aquasystem Water Hammer Shock Arrestor Absorber WSA016 XVES050000

The Aquasystem water hammer prevention valve is designed to absorb and prevent water hammer effects in pipeline systems.
Caused by shock waves running through the water system which create noise, or in severe cases movement of the pipes within a system. Reverberations within the water system are caused by the rapid generation of a series of shock waves. The pressure wave created in these circumstances can be up to three times greater than the standing system pressure. Water hammer is created when the flow rate is suddenly changed, eg when a valve is quickly closed; quarter turn lever operated. Taps and solenoid valves are two of the main culprits. Reverberations occur when system components have moving parts, which respond to the initial shock wave by trying to open or close; an example of this is if there is a loose jumper on a stop tap.
