Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester MSWT Water Hammer Arrester Series

The Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester series is a line of MSWT (male sweat) water hammer arresters engineered to absorb the shock of rapid valve closure in residential and commercial supply lines. The family is available in two models, 653-BS and 655-D, giving installers a choice of configuration while sharing the same core engineering: both are built for rough-in installation behind the wall, can be mounted at any angle, and do not require an access panel, simplifying placement in tight spaces. Every model in the series is certified by ASSE to the ANSI/ASSE 1010 standard and is lifetime cycle tested to withstand 10,000 shock cycles, giving contractors confidence in long-term performance on both hot and cold water lines feeding washing machines, dishwashers, and other quick-closing valve fixtures.

Key Features

  • MSWT Connection: Male sweat connection for standard copper sweat supply line rough-in, shared across the 653-BS and 655-D models.
  • Universal Mounting: Can be installed at any angle and without access panels, giving installers flexibility behind the wall or under a fixture.
  • Connection Compatibility: Compatible with press-fitting systems and all push-fitting systems in addition to standard sweat/solder joints.
  • Shock Protection: Lifetime cycle tested to withstand 10,000 shock cycles, protecting piping and fixtures from repeated water hammer impact.
  • Certified Performance: Certified by ASSE to the ANSI/ASSE 1010 Standard for water hammer arresters across the series.
  • Installation Note: Do not overheat and do not braze during installation to avoid damaging internal components.

Sioux Chief 653-BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What connection sizes and types does the Sioux Chief Hydra-Rester water hammer arrester come in?
Two configurations. Model 653-BS is a 3/4 inch male sweat (MSWT) connection for copper supply rough-in, and model 655-D is a 1 inch male pipe thread (MIP) connection for threaded iron or brass ports. Pick by what the tee or fixture stub you are tying into is prepped for, since the two are not interchangeable without an adapter.
2) Can a Hydra-Rester arrester be installed behind the wall without an access panel?
Yes. The Hydra-Rester is built for rough-in and requires no access panel, and it can be mounted at any angle, so it can go behind drywall or under a fixture in a tight bay. That matters for a washing machine box or dishwasher stub where there is no room for a serviceable door.
3) Will a Hydra-Rester work on a PEX or push-fit system, or only on soldered copper?
The MSWT connection is compatible with press-fitting systems and all push-fitting systems as well as standard sweat/solder joints, so you can crimp or push a fitting onto the male stub instead of soldering. That is the usual way to keep heat away from the unit entirely.
4) How do I solder a water hammer arrester without wrecking the internals?
Keep the heat low and do not braze. Sioux Chief states plainly for the Hydra-Rester: do not overheat, do not braze, because the internal piston and seal can be damaged. If you are soldering, wrap or heat-sink the body and work quickly, or use a press or push-fit connection on the male stub instead.
5) Can I use the same arrester on a hot water line as well as cold?
Yes, the Hydra-Rester is rated for both hot and cold water supply lines, which is why it gets installed in pairs at a washing machine box where both sides feed a quick-closing solenoid valve.
6) Where should a water hammer arrester go on a washing machine or dishwasher supply?
Install it on the supply line as close as practical to the quick-closing valve it is protecting, which is the appliance solenoid at a washing machine box or dishwasher stub. Because the Hydra-Rester mounts at any angle and needs no access panel, it can sit in the wall cavity right behind the box rather than being relocated to a serviceable spot. Both hot and cold legs with a solenoid valve want their own unit.
7) How many Hydra-Rester arresters come in a case for a multi-unit rough-in?
They ship 16 each per case, which is a practical count for a multi-family or apartment rough-in where you are setting two per laundry box. Country of origin is Canada.
