Sioux Chief 653-B Hydra-Rester Water Hammer Arrester, 3/4" MIP, ASSE-B

The Sioux Chief 653-B Hydra-Rester is a water hammer arrester built to absorb shock and quiet the banging noise that occurs when fast-closing valves and solenoid-operated fixtures shut off water flow suddenly. It installs with a 3/4" MIP (male iron pipe) threaded connection directly into the rough-in supply line, and is built to the ASSE-B size so it can be matched to the correct fixture unit load at the point of installation. Each unit is manufactured in Canada and packaged 16 per case for distributor stock and jobsite use.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3/4" connection sized for standard rough-in branch lines.
  • MIP Threaded Connection: Male iron pipe threads allow direct installation into threaded rough-in fittings without extra adapters or field-fabricated connections.
  • ASSE-B Size Rating: Built to the ASSE-B size designation so it can be selected to match the fixture unit load of the branch line it protects.
  • Hydra-Rester Shock Absorption: The Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester design absorbs the pressure spike created when a fast-acting valve closes, reducing pipe hammer and vibration behind the wall or under the floor.
  • Rough-In Application: Sized and threaded for installation on the supply line ahead of washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, and other quick-closing solenoid valve fixtures.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Size: 3/4" MIP
  • Connection Type: Threaded (MIP)
  • Size Designation: ASSE-B
  • Country of Origin: Canada
  • Packaging: 16 EA per case

Typical Applications

  • Washing Machine and Dishwasher Supply Lines
  • Ice-Maker and Quick-Closing Solenoid Valve Connections
  • Residential and Commercial Rough-In Plumbing
  • Behind-the-Wall and Under-Floor Water Distribution Branch Lines
  • New Construction and Renovation Supply Piping

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds rough-in plumbing hardware for professional installers, and the 653-B Hydra-Rester carries that same focus into shock-arrestor hardware sized to the ASSE-B rating for accurate placement on the supply line. Manufactured in Canada and boxed 16 to a case, it is packaged for wholesale distribution and jobsite stocking. Installing a properly sized Hydra-Rester at each fast-closing fixture helps a plumber control water hammer at the source rather than chasing noise complaints after the rough-in is closed up.

Sioux Chief 653-B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 653-B thread straight into a 3/4 inch threaded tee, or do I need an adapter?
It threads in directly. The 653-B Hydra-Rester has a 3/4 inch MIP (male iron pipe) connection, so it screws into any female 3/4 inch threaded rough-in fitting, a tee or a drop-ear, with no adapter or field-fabricated connection. If your branch is copper or PEX, you need a female-threaded transition fitting at the arrester location.
2) What does the ASSE-B size designation on a water hammer arrester mean for sizing?
ASSE size letters rank arresters by how much fixture unit load they can absorb, A being the smallest and the letters climbing from there. The 653-B is built to the ASSE-B size, so it is selected to match a branch line whose fixture unit load falls in the B range rather than being picked by pipe size alone. In practice that means sizing by the fixtures on the branch, then confirming the 3/4 inch MIP connection matches your rough-in.
3) Will a water hammer arrester stop the banging when my washing machine valve shuts off?
That is exactly the condition the 653-B is built for. Fast-closing solenoid valves, washers, dishwashers, ice makers, slam shut and send a pressure spike back down the pipe. The Hydra-Rester absorbs that spike at the point of installation, cutting the hammer and vibration behind the wall or under the floor. It has to be installed on the supply line ahead of the offending fixture to do its job, which is why plumbers set one at each fast-closing fixture during rough-in.
4) Can a water hammer arrester be installed behind a finished wall or does it need access?
The 653-B is a rough-in device, threaded into branch supply lines behind the wall or under the floor during new construction or renovation piping. Sioux Chief's point with this design is to control hammer at the source during rough-in rather than chasing noise complaints after everything is closed up, so plan the arrester locations before the wall goes on.
5) Is the 653-B a single part number, or do I have to pick a size and connection option?
One configuration: the 653-B, 3/4 inch MIP, ASSE-B. There is no handing, finish, or connection choice to specify. If you need a different ASSE size letter or a sweat or PEX connection instead of male iron pipe, that is a different Sioux Chief model, not an option on the 653-B.
6) How many Sioux Chief 653-B arresters come in a case?
Sixteen each per case. That is the standard pack for the 653-B, set up for distributor shelf stock and for loading a truck on a multi-unit rough-in where you are setting an arrester at every washer and dishwasher connection.
7) Where is the Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester made?
The 653-B is manufactured in Canada. That matters on public and institutional work where bid documents ask for country of origin on each submitted item.
