Water Hammer in Sprinkler Systems

In a sprinkler system, water hammer can occur when valves open or close quickly, causing rapid changes in water flow. Over time, repeated water hammer events can damage the piping, fittings, or even the sprinkler heads themselves. Luckily, you can mitigate these effects with a water hammer arrestor. During a surge event, your sprinkler system’s water hammer arrestor absorbs the shock wave, preventing it from transmitting through the piping system.
