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

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

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, giving contractors and distributors a stocking option 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 in a Bulk 25-pack or an Individual 6-pack box, so service trucks and warehouse shelves can be stocked to match job volume.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and dependable supply.
