Stainless Steel Shock Arrestor Vessel 0.16L 15mm to 1/2 inch

Stainless steel shock arrestor vessels, 0.16 litre, in 15mm polished or 1/2 inch brushed.

Water hammer is the bang you hear when a valve shuts fast, often from a washing machine, dishwasher or lever tap. A shock arrestor takes up that surge so the pipes stop knocking.

Common Questions

Where do I fit a shock arrestor?
As close as you can to the valve that causes the bang, on the supply side.

Will a shock arrestor stop all pipe noise?
It stops water hammer from fast closing valves. Loose pipes rattling in their clips need clipping, and high pressure may need a pressure reducing valve.

Does it need servicing?
No. Fit it and forget it.
