Questions & Answers

Would it be easier to just screw it on like the washing machine arrester? Or do I need to cut the pipes?

There is no need to cut a pipe. The arrestor screws directly onto the 3/8" compression outlet of a supply stop valve, just as the washing machine arrestor does.

What are the possibilities of mounting this I'm talking about 90 degrees off of ?

Despite the fact that it can be mounted anywhere, the water hammer still stops.

Do you know if this will work for a refrigerator water line?

It is common for refrigerator water lines to measure 1/4 inch. There are only 3/8" stops compatible with this device

My dishwasher needs to have this installed. What do I do? How should I turn off the dishwasher? Is it the main shut off under the sink or the small ?

You should install an arrestor within six feet of the problem faucet or valve. There is a space between the dishwasher supply stop and the dishwasher supply tube.

The system works great! This is the first piece of equipment I installed before I had a sound like my house was about to explode every time the dishwasher finished filling up before I installed it
5/5

I had a pressure reducer set for 40 psi for my house, yet still had this problem. When you install it, everything works as it should Okay, thank you. This arrestor is attached with a tee fitting (the feed goes through the top of the tee) so that the shock wave from the dishwasher goes through the tee and hits the arrestor at a dead end rather than simply blowing on through You can see the photo in the attachment. Through the tee, it becomes more difficult to turn a 90 degree bend since the shockwave cannot turn through a 90 degree bend. It's so bad now that I'm not even able to tell when the dishwasher is finished.

Almost worked perfectly for a year, but gave up after that
3/5

I found that this worked initially on a somewhat abrupt pedal valve for a kitchen faucet. It has taken only one year for the hammer to once again strike. A new mini was installed in place of the old one Now, the hammer is gone again, because the old parts were replaced by new ones. While the old ones were easy to replace, I don't really want to replace them YEARLY, since I have lots of them lying around. Until I find a better solution I will in the meantime look for a different one. A service that will cover the entire house might be the best option. The device itself says the maximum operating pressure is 250 psig, and the manufacturer's website states that the maximum operating temperature is 250 f. By the way, on the device itself it specifies the maximum operating pressure is 250 psig.

It works, but you need to remove the plastic washer retaining ring
5/5

This does not exactly match the picture as you can see, but it is similar enough and it performs the same functions. So far, a single complaint has been raised, which is that there are no instructions provided. Getting the white piece (see my picture) installed was a bit confusing for me at first because it is a simple install. My first instinct was to push it in there, but I thought it was meant to stay there. It turned out it's just a device to hold the rubber washer in place The old one needs to be pulled off with some pliers before the new one is installed. I seem to be able to resolve my water hammer issue for the moment. * NOTE *UPDATE In the meantime, I ordered two more of these, but they didn't come with the same weird or confusing.

A flushing toilet no longer has a water hammer! It's too strong for my old pipes to handle the new Toto
5/5

I was able to accomplish this with no trouble! As an alternative to bending over to reach the part closest to the tank, it seemed easier to install. Located right by the shut off valve, this one goes straight in. I took 2 minutes to do it! As part of the process, I had to figure out I didn't need the washer that was provided as a loose part since I already had one.

The solution works! Taking care of the order quickly
5/5

It is simple to install the product, but it can be a bit difficult with a toilet near a corner of the basement. It was great to install one at the upstairs location first to test my installation skills. It was cool to use the thicker (blue) plumbing tape, but I liked the white, thinner tape better. Before the item is screwed in, the blue tape wants to pop off the threads. I used some parts but didn't use others It is already on the toilet hose, and there is a plastic ring. (I am not We do not know the exact names of the animals. 3) Leak testing was conducted. In the beginning, one did, but had to tighten it It WORKS, and that is most important. In contrast, the loud THUNK that used to occur after a toilet tank was filled is now barely audible. This will, it is my understanding, prevent plumbing issues for the long run. There are two identical Toto toilets (low flow. It uses 28 gallons of water.

This application can be found under sinks
5/5

Recently, I replaced the faucet in our bathroom with a more modern one. This increase in water hammer has been disturbing. The battery can be drained very quickly if it is turned on and off very Because of the limited space we have at the moment, this was the best solution I could come up with. As much as I was concerned that the size of these would not be sufficient, I was also concerned that the larger solutions would require a more complex installation and a possible reinstall It is time to configure Fortunately, they worked as described and did not cause any problems According to the latest update on 3/28/19, they are still working as normal. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to install them and we haven't experienced any problems.

However, it is working great now, so I do not expect that it lasts forever! This is far too many negative comments about a great device! It is either going to work on your water hammer issue or it will This is an old house, and I recently bought it and installed it, and the hammering that used to happen whenever someone turned off the kitchen faucet too quickly has stopped
5/5

What is the length of the relationship? have no expectations that it will! It's likely that as this device ages, the hammering will return slowly like it does for the Brita filter that needs to be changed when the water doesn't taste as good. Using these kinds of things will not fix a problem caused by an aging house or by poor construction. It is possible that I will need to replace it within 9 months to a year, like I replaced the one on my washing machine. However, I consider it part of the cost of living in an We recommend 100% of these products with the following.
