Installation Instructions:
***Please note: should only be installed by a suitably qualified plumber or technician***
1. Turn off the main water supply to the plumbing system.
2. Locate the appliance causing the water hammer and determine the best location to install the Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor. The device should be installed as close as possible to the appliance causing the water hammer.
3. Use a pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut the existing pipe at the location where the Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor will be installed. The cut should be made in a straight line and should be clean and free of burrs.
4. Once the pipe is cleanly cut and deburred, an adapter for a 1/2 inch BSP fitting should be secured to the pipe. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection by applying pipe thread tape or sealant on the threads. The Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor can then be carefully screwed into the fitted adapter.
5. Install the device into the cut pipe section. The device should be installed in the correct orientation (either vertical or horizontal) as specified by the manufacturer. Make sure that the device is securely fastened and that the connection is tight.
6. Turn the main water supply back on and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, turn off the main water supply and tighten the connection.
7. Adjust the pre-charge pressure of the Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor to the specified range (3 to 3.5 bar) using a pressure gauge and a suitable pump.
8. Turn on the appliance causing the water hammer and check for any signs of water hammer. The Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor should help to reduce or eliminate the water hammer.
9. Check the device periodically for leaks and damage, and adjust the pre-charge pressure if necessary.
10. If the Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor does not effectively reduce or eliminate the water hammer, consult with a qualified plumber or technician to determine other possible causes and solutions.
