Product Identity
The Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co 520-T-C is a copper water hammer arrestor designed for 1 inch threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems. It protects piping from pressure surges caused by sudden valve closure in residential and light commercial installations. The unit is factory set at 60 psi and carries ASSE Standard 1010 certification with IAPMO listing.
Pressure and Temperature Limits
The arrestor operates within a temperature range of 33 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and withstands a maximum working pressure of 350 psi. Its factory pre-charge of 60 psi is calibrated to absorb hydraulic shock in typical supply lines. Compliance with Lead Plumbing Law and NSF/ANSI 372 certification confirms suitability for potable water applications.
Installation Verification
Confirm that the existing piping uses 1 inch threaded connections matching the arrestor's specification. Verify that system pressure does not exceed the 350 psi maximum rating and that water temperature remains within the 33 to 250 degree Fahrenheit range. The 8 3/4 inch overall height and 1 3/8 inch diameter require adequate clearance at the installation point.

Questions about this item
Which pipe size version of the 520-T-C should I choose for a 1-inch supply line?
The 520-T-C is offered in a single 1-inch pipe size with a threaded connection, so it matches a 1-inch supply line directly.
What does the 60 psi factory-set pressure mean once the arrestor is installed?
The unit is pre-charged to 60 psi, which is the cushion pressure that absorbs shock when valves close in the system.
What does the ASSE 1010 standard cap in practice for this arrestor?
ASSE 1010 certifies the arrestor for water hammer control up to its 350 psi maximum working pressure.
