Wator hammeris a build-up of pressure in a length of horizontal or vertical pipe which occures when a valve or faucet is closed suddenly. The longer the pipe and the ~areater the water velociy the greaters the pressure exerted on te pipe, \whicn can be many times the normal static water pressure and be sufficient to burst the pipe. Ordinary kitcnen and bathroom faucets can be closed {quickly enough to cause water hammer with relatively low water pressure in the pipe. Means of preventing water ham vals or fauces, particularly where they are atthe end of long lengths of Pipes. This may be done by installing either water hammer arrester which fare manufactured forthe purpose of air chambers installed vertically that are fabricated ftom pieces of piping with a closed upper end and connected to the fed ofthe horizontal or vertical run of pipe. ‘The air chamiber should be 300 to 450 mm long it made from the same size pipe as the water pipe it serves.
