Leading distributor to the heating and plumbing trade Navigator MSL has launched its latest addition to its wide range of plumbing accessories – a brand new Shock Arrestor. It’s the optimum new mini expansion vessel that eliminates water hammer in heating and plumbing systems. Sold under the popular MidBrass brand name the Shock Arrestor is a mini expansion vessel manufactured from high grade 304 stainless steel and incorporates a WRAS approved EPDM membrane rubber diaphragm.
It’s rigorously tested for endurance and carries a three-year peace of mind warranty. It has been designed to operate comfortably at temperatures found in normal domestic heating systems – between minus 10 and plus100 degrees C. It reduces pipe noise and the risk of damage to system components. This unit should be fitted in close proximity to any appliance with rapid shut off valves and is suitable for potable water supplies.
It may provide a solution for installations of combi and system boilers, washing machines, showers, dishwashers and taps. Product specifications, including pressure ratings and pre charge pressure are etched into the surface of the arrestor so installers can quickly check that it is suitable for the intended system. All enclosed water systems have the potential to create a ‘water hammer’ effect in pipework where there is a sudden or repeated shut off. The MB shock arrestor is the answer to this problem. www.navigatormsl.com
