Shock arrestors are devices used to absorb shocks or impact created by sudden forces or movement in mechanical systems. Here, you'll find shock arrestors made from different materials, with various capacities, bars, sizes, maximum pressures, IP ratings and more. Shock arrestors prevent water hammer (the loud banging sound heard when a valve or faucet is closed too quickly), helping to prevent a sudden drop in water pressure. Water hammer can cause significant damage to plumbing systems, such as pipes, joints and fittings, and a shock arrestor helps to minimise the stress put on pipework, reducing any long-term damage.
