FAHM Water Hammer Arrestors - Protecting Your Plumbing System with Advanced Shock Absorption Technology
FAHM Water Hammer Arrestors prevent pressure shocks, protect pipelines, and ensure smooth, quiet water flow—delivering long-lasting safety for any plumbing system.
In any residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing system, pressure fluctuations are inevitable. When a fast-moving column of water is suddenly forced to stop—typically when a valve closes quickly—it creates a loud banging noise known as water hammer. Beyond the noise, this hydraulic shock can lead to pipe damage, joint failures, vibration issues, and long-term stress on plumbing components.
FAHM Water Hammer Arrestors are engineered to eliminate this problem entirely. Built with precision, durability, and reliability, they provide a long-lasting solution for protecting pipelines, valves, appliances, and fixtures from the damaging effects of hydraulic shock.
What is water hammer?
Water hammer occurs when flowing water is forced to stop or change direction abruptly. This sudden halt converts the water’s kinetic energy into a pressure spike, producing:
- Loud banging or thudding sounds in pipes
- Vibrations in plumbing lines
- Potential pipe damage or burst risks
- Stress on valves, meters, pumps, and appliances
- Reduced lifespan of plumbing systems
In modern buildings where high-pressure lines, solenoid valves, and fast-acting fixtures are common, the risk of water hammer is significantly higher.
Why You Need a Water Hammer Arrestor
While air chambers and traditional dampening methods were commonly used earlier, they tend to lose effectiveness over time as the air gets absorbed into the water. Modern systems require engineered, maintenance-free solutions.
A high-quality water hammer arrestor:
- Absorbs sudden pressure spikes
- Protects pipes and fittings from damage
- Increases the lifespan of valves and appliances
- Reduces noise levels in pipelines
- Ensures smoother water flow throughout the system
- Complies with modern plumbing codes and building standards
