How it works

Water-supply arrester catalog comparison

Total reviewed water-supply fixture units for one branch or one reviewed segment, then compare a finite manufacturer catalog. Enter the complete applicable placement and pressure conditions; drainage fixture units and pump discharge transients use different methods.

Branch WSFU = Σ quantity × reviewed WSFU per fixture; select the smallest entered capacity meeting the total and reviewed minimum capacity.
