To prevent cavitation and accompanying water hammer within the extra-long tub spout tubes and/or shower risers of high-flow fixtures, such as garden tub valves and multi-head shower valves
Unlike atmospheric vacuum breaker devices that can leak or spit, the Vacu-Rester's "closed atmosphere" chamber serves as a vacuum breaker without the chance of leaks
Recommended for their highflow tub valves such as their SOK series fixtures
Installation For high flow tub valves with long spout tubes, install 652-AD Vacu-Rester on spout tube, in between tub valve and spout, within one foot of the tub valve. For high flow shower valves, install 652-AD Vacu-Rester on shower riser, in between shower valve and shower head, within one foot of the shower valve.

For high flow lines with shut-off valve in the middle of pipe run, install VacuRester on non-pressure side, within one foot of shut-off valve. Pipe sizes 1/2" thru 1", install 652 AD. Pipe sizes 1-1/4" thru 3", install 657-FD.

Happy Independence Day!
Our Customer Support will be closed today in honor of Independence Day. We will be back tomorrow to answer your questions.
Our home has a geothermal heat pump with a solenoid valve in the middle of a long pipe run in the water supply. There has been a objectionable loud noise every time the water shut off day and night. Two different water hammer arresters, and pipe hangers changes made no difference to the noise. Nobody, knew what the problem was, not the plumber, or the heat pump technician had a solution. In the Sioux Chief engineering documents it described the situation and recommended a vacuum break arrester for long pipe runs with a shut off in the middle. I put in a Sioux vacu-rester and the noise stopped. Absolutely amazing. Now it is possible to sleep.
