Can you provide a water hammer arrestor diagram to help me understand how it works?
Water hammer arrestors are devices used to prevent the banging noise in pipes caused by sudden changes in water flow. They typically consist of a sealed chamber with a cushion of air or gas that absorbs the shock waves created by the fast-moving water. When the water flow changes, the air or gas compresses, reducing the pressure spikes and preventing the pipes from vibrating. This diagram illustrates how a water hammer arrestor is installed in a Plumbing system to effectively mitigate water hammer effects.
