Silence Your System

Too much noise coming from your plumbing system? Water hammer is the loud banging or thumping you may hear coming from the pipes in your plumbing system. This noise occurs when the flow of moving water is stopped by a closing valve. The sudden stop results in a pressure spike behind the valve that reverberates throughout the plumbing system, rattling and shaking pipes until it is absorbed.

Stop the noise and protect your fixtures and appliances simply by installing a water hammer arrestor. You can find a selection of water hammer arrestors made by Watts and Sioux Chief at www.supplyhouse.com
