Description for Sioux Chief 660-TR1

NOTE: Image depicts 660-TR Mini-Rester

Water hammer occurs when the flow of moving water is suddenly stopped by a closing valve. This sudden stop results in a tremendous spike of pressure behind the valve which acts like a tiny explosion inside the pipe. This pressure spike reverberates throughout the plumbing system, rattling and shaking pipes, until it is absorbed. Normally, a sufficient pocket of air will absorb such a pressure spike, but if no pocket of air is present, expensive fixtures and appliances within the plumbing system will be damaged as they are left to absorb this pressure spike.

  • Installs either between stub out and supply stop, or between supply stop and supply tube for faucets, dishwashers, toilets or ice makers
  • All Mini-Resters are AA size
  • All Mini-Resters are approved for sealed wall installations with no access panel required

We installed a new High Efficiency washer and it turns the water on and off multiple times throughout a normal wash cycle. From the first use of this washer, we immediately had excessive water hammer, shuttering our pipes throughout the house. I installed a Sioux Chief mini-arrestor on both the hot and cold water supplies and they completely relieved our water hammer problem. Thanks to PexSupply [...] we could get rid of that annoying water hammer.

Comments about Mini-Rester Water Hammer Arrestor - 3/8" O.D. Compression x 3/8" O.D. Female Compression Tee:

We have major water hammer issues w/ our new high efficiency dish washer in an approx. 25 yr old house. Our plumber suggested installing this at the supply valve. It solved the issues for the most part. But I do hear some minor hammer at times so I wouldn't say this solved it 100%. However, it is no longer a nuisance and I don't get the sense that the pipes will have any damage. All in all, it works fine.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Mini-Rester Water Hammer Arrestor - 3/8" O.D. Compression x 3/8" O.D. Female Compression Tee:

Quickly installed between the hot and cold supply stops and the hose lines to the sink. The arrestors protect against water hammer from the sink side sprayer. Also protects against water hammer from the dishwasher. By installing the arrestors on the supply stops, I was able to place them in the optimal location (between the last two fixtures on the supply line) according to Sioux Chief's website.

Great item for preventative maintenance

By Paul the Handyman

Comments about Mini-Rester Water Hammer Arrestor - 3/8" O.D. Compression x 3/8" O.D. Female Compression Tee:

I used to hear a banging noise when someone would shut off the water quickly in my house. The refrigerator seemed to take the brunt of the impact, and I became concerned that damage was being done to it and/or components of my plumbing system. At my local hardware store they recommended installing at least one arrestor near my refrigerator, but they didn't carry this item (660-TR). After searching online, I found the 660-TR and then discovered that PexSupply seemed to have the best price. I installed one under the sink of both bathrooms on the cold water line. Then I installed two under the kitchen sink (hot & cold lines).
After installing them I haven't heard any more banging in the pipes or my refrigerator. I'm very pleased with the results! These are very easy to install under the sink. Just remove the hose (3/8" fitting) coming off the valve attached to the main pipe (from the wall), and install it between the hose and the valve.
I would also recommend installing one 660-H arrestor on each connection (hot & cold) to your washing machine (clothes washer). My washer shuts the water off very quickly, which is very hard on plumbing components. I bought the 660-H at my local hardware store.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      A:

      The Sioux Chief data sheet on their arrestors clearly states that the
      operate in any orientation.
      Sioux Chief offers a wide selection of attachments - but the arrestor
      itself is threaded and can be removed from whatever adapter it is on and
      screwed into a threaded fitting. For instance, it can be mounted
      directly on the valves in their arrestor-less OxBox products by removing
      the threaded plugs in the valves and screwing the arrestor in.

      A:

      they can be installed at any angle, i would not sweat this arrester since you would most likley need another adapter to sweat to.
      there are better options for sweatable arresters. search some more, that it was i went with since this arrester pictured belowe was not large enough to handle the water hammer.
      i went with a sioux chief 3/4" sweatable arrester. the arrester itself was about a foot long.
      got rid of the hammer.
      hope this helps.

      A:

      Yes it can be installed horizontally and will work fine.
      I am unclear as to where you wanted to put the sweat tee; in place of the
      female threaded inlet? If so, I would do that with an adapter, rather than
      modifying the mini-rester itself. But if you need to eliminate the FIP
      inlet fitting for space reasons, you could cut it off, leaving as much of
      the ½” copper tubing as possible and de-burr it thoroughly, being sure that
      no debris from that process gets into the mini-rester. Then when you solder
      that new end into a tee, wrap a damp rag tightly around the cast brass tee
      which is part of the mini-rester to keep the piston seals as cool as
      possible during the soldering operation.
      If you happen to have an automatic shut-off valve in the wall, which is
      designed to close the water supply to the washer if there is a leak, this
      mini-rester will not work downstream from it. If that is the case, write me
      back and I will tell you what to do.

  • Mini-Rester Water Hammer Arrestor - 3/4" F Swivel Hose Thread x 3/4" M Hose Thread Tee

    Q:

    Im confused. I want to install this in a 3/4" copper line yet there is discussion about 1/2" pipe! Will this work since the arrestor will be installed in front of a water powered sump pump that requires the 3/4" supply line?
    Asked on 3/22/2012 by Geno from Decatur, Il

    3 answers

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      First, confirm that you really have 3/4" copper.  3/4" copper has a 7/8" outside
      diameter (OD)  If the measured OD is 3/4" then it is actually 5/8" copper.
      However, what you really need to consider is the type and size  of the
      connection fitting.  The Sioux Chief model shown has hose thread connections
      (think garden hose).  This is probably not what you need to connect to a copper
      line, which would typically require some combination of soldered slip
      connection, compression fitting, or pipe thread connection -- male MIPS or
      female FIPS.  Also, the Shark Bite type connections have become popular.  There
      is more than one way to do what you want.

      It should still work OK but you will have to purchase a couple of reducers/adapters at the hardware store.
