What's Included
- Altecnic 525040 Mechanical Shock Arrestor
The Altecnic 525040 Mechanical Shock Arrestor is a simple and effective solution for reducing the effects of water hammer within domestic and commercial water systems. Designed to absorb sudden pressure surges caused by rapidly closing valves and appliances, it helps prevent the vibration, noise, and strain that can occur throughout pipework.
Water hammer may seem like a minor annoyance at first, but over time it can lead to damaged fittings, leaks, and unnecessary wear on system components. Installing a dedicated shock arrestor helps protect your system and maintain quieter operation.
Designed for Single Outlets and Small Systems
The 525040 is ideal for protecting individual outlets such as taps, washing machines, dishwashers, and similar appliances. It can also be used on small groups of outlets supplied via a manifold, making it a versatile option for a range of plumbing installations.
For maximum effectiveness, the arrestor should be fitted as close as possible to the tap or valve responsible for the pressure surge.
Maintenance-Free Operation
Unlike some system protection devices, the Altecnic Mechanical Shock Arrestor requires no ongoing maintenance. Once installed, it works continuously to absorb pressure shocks and reduce the impact of water hammer throughout the system.
Its compact design allows installation in any orientation, providing greater flexibility where installation space is limited.
Built for Long-Term Reliability
Designed to withstand demanding conditions, the shock arrestor has a maximum working pressure of 10 bar and can operate at temperatures up to 90°C. A PTFE seal on the thread helps provide a secure and reliable connection.
Whether installed in residential or commercial applications, it offers dependable protection for pipework, fittings, and valves that may otherwise be affected by repeated pressure spikes.
