Sioux Chief 652-AWG 1/2" PEX Hydra-Rester Water Hammer Arrester

The Sioux Chief 652-AWG Hydra-Rester is a 1/2" PEX water hammer arrester built for rough-in plumbing installations using F1960 PEX expansion connections. Designed to absorb the shock of rapidly closing valves and quick-closing fixtures, this arrester is lifetime cycle tested to withstand 10,000 shock cycles and is certified by ASSE to the ANSI/ASSE 1010 standard. It can be installed at any angle and does not require an access panel, giving plumbers flexibility when routing supply lines behind walls, under floors, or in tight mechanical spaces. Manufactured in Canada, the 652-AWG is sized for 1/2" PEX tubing and connects via the F1960 expansion method, matching standard PEX expansion fitting systems used on washing machine outlet boxes, ice-maker lines, dishwashers, and other quick-closing fixture supply runs where hydraulic shock is a concern.

Sioux Chief 652-AWG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 652-AWG connect to my 1/2 inch PEX supply lines?
It connects to 1/2 inch PEX using the F1960 cold expansion method, so it ties into the same expansion fitting system as Uponor-style PEX-a runs. If your lines are joined with crimp rings, press sleeves, or push-fit, this is the wrong connection type for you.
2) Does a water hammer arrester like the 652-AWG need an access panel behind the wall?
No access panel is required. The Hydra-Rester 652-AWG can be installed at any angle and without an access panel, so it can be buried in a wall cavity, chase, or under a floor during rough-in.
3) How long will a Hydra-Rester last on a washing machine line that cycles constantly?
The 652-AWG is lifetime cycle tested to 10,000 shock cycles, which is why it gets specified on washer and ice-maker outlet box supplies where the solenoid valve slams shut several times per load. Unlike a capped air chamber, it does not waterlog and need re-charging.
4) Where in the run should I install a 1/2 inch PEX water hammer arrester?
Install it close to the quick-closing fixture it is protecting, on the supply run itself. Typical placements for the 652-AWG are washing machine and ice-maker outlet boxes, dishwasher supplies, and other quick-closing fixture runs. Because it mounts at any angle, you can orient it to whatever the cavity allows.
5) Will the 652-AWG stop the banging pipes in an existing house, or is it only for new construction?
It works for both. The 652-AWG is used in new rough-in and in renovation water distribution work, as long as you can get to the PEX supply line and make an F1960 expansion connection at the noisy fixture. Retrofitting means cutting into the run and expanding onto the tubing, so you need working room and an expander tool.
6) How many Sioux Chief 652-AWG arresters come in a case?
Case quantity is 16 each. That is the pack to order if you are standardizing arresters across a multi-unit rough-in rather than buying one at a time.
7) Is the Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester 652-AWG made in North America?
Yes, the 652-AWG is manufactured in Canada, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic or North American sourcing requirements.
