What's Included
- Altecnic Shock Arrestor 15mm Mini Expansion Vessel
The Altecnic PV016RS Roboshock® Shock Arrestor is a compact and effective solution designed to protect pipework, appliances, and system components from the damaging effects of water hammer. Sudden changes in water flow can create shockwaves within pipework, causing noise, vibration, and unnecessary strain on connected equipment.
By absorbing these pressure surges, this shock arrestor helps extend the lifespan of your system while supporting quieter and more reliable operation.
Designed to Reduce Water Hammer
Water hammer commonly occurs when water flow is stopped abruptly, often by lever-operated taps, solenoid valves, washing machines, dishwashers, and other fast-closing appliances. The resulting pressure spike can place significant stress on pipework and connected components.
The Roboshock® unit helps minimise these effects by absorbing sudden pressure fluctuations before they can travel through the system.
Quick and Simple Installation
Featuring a 15mm compression connection, the PV016RS is designed for straightforward installation. Unlike threaded alternatives, it can be fitted directly into the system without requiring additional threaded fittings, helping reduce installation time and complexity.
Its compact size also makes it ideal for installations where space is limited.
Durable and Reliable Performance
With a maximum working pressure of 15 bar and an operating temperature range of -10°C to 100°C, the shock arrestor is suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial plumbing applications.
The unit comes pre-charged to 3.5 bar with air, allowing it to begin protecting your system immediately after installation.
