| Hello, My daughter just got her first house, a 25+ year old town home. Behind the washer and drier sticking out from the wall are these two 'devices'. They appear to be connected to hot and cold water lines - Not sure what they are but considering they have corrosion and are probably as old as the home, would like to replace them. Any help / suggestions appreciated. All the best, Bob |

| Check out "water hammer arrestor" on Google and Youtube. Most water flow valves inside washers tend to close much more abruptly than any other fixture in a home and would be a prime source to produce water hammer. |

| Oh yes... Many thianks - Bob |
