Sioux Chief 660-HB Mini-Rester FIP Swivel Hose Tee Water Hammer Arrester

The Sioux Chief 660-HB Mini-Rester is a compact rough-in fitting designed to absorb the pressure surge created when a quick-closing valve, such as a washing machine solenoid or ice maker valve, shuts off water flow. Its tee-style body taps into a hose connection while still passing supply through to the fixture, connecting via an FIP swivel thread joint. Manufactured in the United States, the 660-HB is available in a Bulk (25-pack) or an Individual (6-pack box) packaging option, giving contractors and distributors a stocking choice that matches how they handle hose hookups across multiple jobs, service routes, or truck stock replenishment.

Key Features

  • FIP Swivel Connection: Installs at the hose hookup using a female iron pipe (FIP) swivel thread joint; do not use pipe dope on the swivel threads — the joint seals with a washer rather than thread sealant, and applying dope can interfere with that seal.
  • Mini-Rester Hose Tee Design: Compact tee-style body absorbs hydraulic shock from quick-closing valves such as washing machine solenoids and ice maker valves, helping reduce banging pipes and protect supply lines and fittings from repeated water hammer.
  • Low-Profile, Space-Saving Body: The mini-rester footprint fits tight spaces behind washing machines, refrigerators, and other appliance hookups where a full-size arrester will not fit.
  • Flexible Pack Sizing: Offered as a Bulk 25-pack or an Individual 6-pack box, so service trucks and warehouse shelves can be stocked to match job volume — from single-service-call quantities up to full route restocking.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and dependable supply.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief manufactures the Mini-Rester line in the United States, giving plumbing contractors a domestically produced water hammer arrester built for reliable installation at hose connections. The FIP swivel thread design with a washer-seal connection is intended for a proper hookup without pipe dope, keeping the install straightforward for a service tech working through a full route. With both Bulk 25-pack and Individual 6-pack box options on this listing, installers and distributors can choose the packaging that fits a given route, service call, or new construction run without ordering more than a job requires or making repeat trips for a single-piece part. The compact hose tee body and washer-seal FIP swivel connection make the 660-HB a straightforward, code-friendly way to protect supply lines behind washing machines, ice makers, and dishwashers from repeated hydraulic shock.

Sioux Chief 660-HB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 660-H Mini-Rester install on a standard washing machine hose bibb?
Yes. The 660-H Mini-Rester is a hose tee that connects with an FIP swivel thread joint, so it goes on at the hose hookup and still passes supply through to the appliance hose. That is the whole point of the tee body: you don't have to break into the supply line to add shock protection behind a washer.
2) Should I use pipe dope or Teflon tape on the Mini-Rester swivel threads?
No pipe dope on the swivel threads. The FIP swivel joint on the 660-H seals with a washer, not thread sealant, and dope on those threads can interfere with the washer seating and cause a weep. Hand-start it square and snug it down against the washer.
3) What is the difference between Sioux Chief 660-H and 660-HB?
Packaging only. 660-H is the individual 6-pack box, 660-HB is the bulk 25-pack. Same Mini-Rester hose tee with the FIP swivel connection either way. Truck stock and single service calls run the 6-pack box; route restocking and new construction runs take the 25-pack.
4) What is the Mini-Rester actually for, and will it stop my pipes from banging?
It absorbs the pressure spike a quick-closing valve makes when it slams shut, typically a washing machine solenoid or an ice maker valve. That spike is what makes the banging and what fatigues supply lines and fittings over time. Put the 660-H at the hose connection serving the offending appliance and it takes the shock there instead of letting it travel the piping.
5) Will a water hammer arrester fit in the tight space behind a washer or fridge?
That's what the Mini-Rester body is sized for. The low-profile hose tee footprint goes into spots behind washing machines, refrigerators and similar appliance hookups where a full-size arrester won't fit.
6) Can I use the 660 Mini-Rester on an ice maker or dishwasher line too, or only a washing machine?
All three are listed applications. The hose tee works at ice maker supply hookups, dishwasher supply connections and washing machine hoses, plus any quick-closing solenoid valve install, residential or commercial.
7) Is the Sioux Chief Mini-Rester made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin is the United States. Sioux Chief manufactures the Mini-Rester line domestically, which is what institutional and government buyers working to a domestic-content requirement need on the submittal.
8) Do I need an arrester at every hose hookup, or just the washing machine?
Add one wherever a quick-closing valve is doing the shutting off. A washer solenoid is the usual offender, but ice maker and dishwasher solenoid valves do the same thing. Since the 660-H tees in at the hose connection and passes water through, each hookup you want protected takes its own unit, which is why it ships in multiples (6-pack box or 25-pack bulk) rather than singly.
