The MVI shock absorber is a mechanical device that does not require any maintenance. For best results, it is recommended to install it as close as possible to the device that causes the water hammer, in order to dampen the excess pressure as soon as it occurs, preventing wave propagation.

Application area

Water hammer is a hydraulic phenomenon that occurs in a pipeline when the flow is abruptly blocked. It is related to several variables, including the length of the pipes, their diameter, the speed of the fluid and, more importantly, the speed at which the valve or shutoff system closes. In fact, in recent years the problem of water hammer has increased due to the disappearance of classic tap mixers in most household systems, replaced by more modern single-lever mixers. Installing a WHS shock absorber near single-lever faucets, solenoid valves, ball valves or washing machines prevents any negative consequences of this phenomenon.
