Patent number: 9581277Abstract: An in-line water hammer arrester comprises a housing connectable at each end to a piping system, a fluid channel disposed within the housing to permit fluid to flow from the piping system through the housing and back into the piping system, a piston and a pressurized chamber. When a pressure spike occurs, the piston is pushed against the pressurized chamber allowing an expanded area for water flow until the pressure spike is dissipated and the piston returns to its resting position. When used with flexible hoses and tubing typically found with household appliance water supply lines, the in-line arrester is easily installed by a crimping or clamping type connector and takes up little space.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: LSP Product Group, Inc.Inventors: Duane Condon, Bill Ghiglieri

Publication number: 20070130689Abstract: A tub box, for use in enclosing a drain trap and a portion of a sewer-line pipe connected to the drain trap, includes a closed hollow one-piece housing adapted to receive the drain trap and sewer-line. The housing has opposite first and second end walls, and a compressible continuous side wall having a plurality of collapsible parallel folds attaching the end walls. A knock-out part has a base portion extending outwardly from the housing and a crown portion extending from the base portion. The base and crown portions are of different diameter so that removal of the crown portion creates a crown hole sized for a pipe of a given diameter while removal of the base portion creates a base hole sized for a pipe of a different diameter. A stake fastener, adapted to be secured about a stake, is located on the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2005Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: WCM INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Duane CONDON, William BALL
