- Instant Pipe Noise Solution: Specifically engineered to eliminate "water hammer"—the loud banging or vibrating noise in pipework caused by the sudden shut-off of modern taps and appliance valves.
- Protects Plumbing Infrastructure: Absorbs destructive pressure spikes (hydraulic shock) to prevent stress on joints, 15mm compression fittings, and solder points, reducing the risk of long-term leaks.
- Appliance & Boiler Defense: Safeguards delicate internal components in washing machines, dishwashers, and combi-boilers from high-pressure surges, extending the lifespan of your household appliances.
- Trade-Grade Construction: Features a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel body with a high-performance internal EPDM diaphragm for long-lasting maintenance-free operation.
- Universal 15mm Compatibility: Designed for standard UK plumbing systems; easy to install on 15mm pipework near the source of the noise or on the mains cold water inlet for maximum effect.
- Maintenance-Free Protection: A "fit and forget" solution that requires no electricity or manual resetting, providing 24/7 protection against pressure-related system vibration and damage.
The LavaTherm Professional Water Hammer Arrestor is the definitive solution for noisy, vibrating plumbing systems. In modern UK homes, high-pressure mains water combined with fast-closing ceramic disc taps and solenoid valves in washing machines often leads to the phenomenon known as "Water Hammer." This is not just an annoying noise; it is a physical pressure spike that can cause pipes to jump, joints to weaken, and delicate appliance seals to fail over time.
Constructed from premium stainless steel, the LavaTherm Shock Arrestor acts as a sophisticated shock absorber for your plumbing. It contains a pressurized air chamber separated by a high-grade EPDM diaphragm. When a valve closes and the water column stops abruptly, the arrestor absorbs the energy of the surge, silencing the banging noise instantly and protecting your 15mm compression fittings and pipework from mechanical stress.
Ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers, this arrestor is a vital addition to any property experiencing vibration or "hammering" issues. It is particularly effective when installed near washing machines, dishwashers, or under-sink taps. By stabilizing system pressure, you not only enjoy a quieter home but also ensure the long-term integrity of your boiler and heating infrastructure. Protect your home from the hidden damage of pressure surges and stop banging pipes for good with LavaTherm.
