5.0 out of 5 stars The Sioux Chief Arrester worked perfectly, June 17, 2008

As the previous review stated, the delivered product was a 90 degree configuration instead of a straight configuration. It did not make any difference to me, and actually, the 90 degree worked better on the back of our washing machine. The device looks to be well made. The short burst filling of our LG was causing serious watter hammer and the Sioux Chief 660-H did exactly what it was supposed to do. Now, I no longer worry about damage to fittings and or pipes and the silence is welcome. Super easy install, the hardest part was cleaning up dust behind the washing machine. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase and install an arrester.

I have an LG front-loading washing machine, and when it would add water, the plumbing would bang throughout the house. So, after seeing a recent Ask this Old House episode where Richard installed a water hammer arrester in someone's house to solve a similar problem, I ordered a pair of these. I put them on the back of the washer where the hoses connect to the machine, and now all the banging is completely gone! I couldn't have asked for a simpler solution that works great.

Yes, we too have an LG front-loading washer - it seems like they must shut off water flow more abruptly than some other makers' washers. Anyhow, like other have said, these cured the harsh water hammer pipe banging (bought one for each of hot and cold).

Note that I first bought a pair of very similar water hammer arrestors made by a different manufacturer from my local big box home improvement store. However, those did not work, whether due to different design or defect (maybe the pistons that separate air and water were stuck). I returned those for a refund.

Incidentally, the ones that didn't work were made in Taiwan, while the Sioux Chief product is made in the U.S. So you can feel good about buying American if that is important to you. (But I am delighted by my Korean-made washer.)

Finally, as others have said, this is a right-angle fixture, not in-line.
