Review: Fixes water hammer in house plumbing. - After years of water hammer, this fixed it; no more banging pipes.
Review: Works great, easy install - Used this for my sprinkler system. I first tried a tiny version (size AA) from Home Depot, which worked a little bit, but this larger version (size B) from Sioux Chief was what I needed to fix my water hammer problem. Installed in about 10 minutes. I added a female 3/4" threaded fitting to my existing PVC system and then screwed the Arrester into the threaded PVC fitting using teflon tape.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says sweat connection but the model number and picture shows 3/3 mip thread.  which is it?**
A: Mine was as in the picture, threaded MIP.  The sweat one is a different product number.

**Q: Will this work at the well pump? Hammers every time it shuts off.**
A: Works any where there is a hammer. Sizing is the issue. You may need a bigger unit for the main pump line or multiple units.You may also want to consider a non-slamming soft shut check valveon the down stream side of the pump.

**Q: "will it fit a garden hose type thread ?"**
A: If you need one for garden hose thread . Look for washing machine hammer arrestor since washers use the game garden hose thread

**Q: The mini water arrestors worked for about a year +. Will this size work for washing machine? And can I simply replace the mini with this size?**
A: I would think that this arresor would work fine but it might not be as simple to install as the mini arrestor The mini arrestor has a tee built into it that just attaches to the faucet. If you can remove the faucet from the water line and install a brass tee in it's place then screw the faucet and the 653 arrestor into the tee I would think that the 653 arrestor would work good. It might even be able to absorb water hammer that is generated from other sources.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well
*by 8***E on July 11, 2025*

Installed it on my washing machine hot and cold and on my dishwasher. I now forget sometimes I am washing as I got so use to the pipe sounds to tell me the washer is done. Banging of the water pipes is completely gone. Strong build , it seems durable as there was no metal flaking or compression while tightening it to the dishwasher line or washing machine line. Had no leaking.
