You are no doubt aware of the potential danger that sudden pressure surges pose to your pipelines in water systems. The best way to avoid them is to take certain precautions while installing the right products in the right places. Here are a few tips: Always operate shut-off valves slowly, especially quick-closing quarter-turn valves such as butterfly or ball valves; a very fast action can generate water hammer // Use orifice plates downstream of safety and guard valves to create additional back pressure // Air valves are the essence of prevention, avoiding damage to the lines from overpressure or vacuum // Consider surge vessels at points where air valves are not enough in terms of volume, especially at pumping sets and to prevent the pressure peaks that pump failures generate in the system.
