You are required to consult the local building and
plumbing codes prior to installation. If the infor­mation in this manual is not consistent with local
building or plumbing codes, the local codes should

Shock waves are caused by fast acting valves and can
be controlled by using a shock arrestor. Use one unit
for each hot and cold water line.

For new or existing water lines with pressures up to
150psi (10.3 bar) and temperature ranges of 33°F to
180°F (0.5°C to 82°C). Systems which exceed 60psi
shall be installed with a pressure reducing valve up­stream of the unit.

Select a location as close to the source of shock (i.e.
dishwasher, icemaker, toilet or faucet) as possible. Al­low sufficient clearance for installation.

For your safety these units are pre-charged at the fac­tory and are not rechargeable or repairable.

Although they function in any orientation, Figure 1, 2 &
3 show the proper installation where the shock would
be absorbed most effectively.

mation can result in death, serious personal injury,
property damage, or damage to the equipment.

Keep this Manual for future reference.
