It connects with a 1\/2 inch male sweat fitting, making it compatible with standard copper pipe installations. Water hammer is a common plumbing problem that occurs when a fast-closing valve suddenly stops water flow, sending a pressure shockwave through the pipes. This shockwave causes the loud banging or knocking sound that plumbers and homeowners recognize. Over time, repeated pressure surges can loosen fittings, damage valves, and crack solder joints, leading to costly repairs. The IPS Corporation 86601 absorbs that pressure surge before it travels through the line, protecting the entire supply system from shock and vibration damage. The unit is sized for single-fixture applications, making it the right choice for washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, and similar appliances that use solenoid valves. It can be installed at any angle, which gives plumbers flexibility in tight spaces. For best performance, it should be installed no further than 6 feet from the valve it is protecting. One of the standout features of this arrester is that it is approved for sealed-wall installations, meaning no access panel is required after it is placed in the wall. This simplifies finish work and keeps walls clean. The 86601 is UPC listed and ASSE certified to the ANSI\/ASSE 1010-2004 standard. It also conforms to IPC-2006 requirements. Made in the USA, this arrester is a reliable, code-compliant solution for controlling water hammer in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs pressure surges and vibrations to stop pipes from banging and prevent costly system damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for sealed-wall installation with no access panel required, simplifying rough-in and finish work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASSE certified to ANSI\/ASSE 1010-2004 standard and conforms to IPC-2006, ensuring full code compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IPS Corporation 86601 is a single-fixture hammer arrester with a 1\/2 inch male sweat connection that protects residential and light commercial supply lines from water hammer damage.
