Water hammer arrestor pressure vessel IVAR.HX-016 – 0.16 l, 15 bar, 1/2" M, stainless steel
Code: A0D0Q01Product detailed description
IVAR.HX-016 (code A0D0Q01) is a 0.16 l pressure expansion vessel made of AISI 304 stainless steel, designed to absorb hydraulic shocks in pipework. When the water flow stops abruptly – typically when a ball valve is closed quickly or a solenoid valve switches – a short pressure surge occurs in the line. The vessel absorbs it before the high dynamic pressure can load outlet fittings and filters.
Use and location
- pressurised water supply lines and other pressurised water systems
- installation upstream of the appliance to be protected – an outlet fitting or a filter
- hanging version with a 1/2" male thread (M) connection
Technical data
- volume 0.16 l, pressure 15 bar
- temperature range -10 °C to +99 °C, recommended operating temperature up to +80 °C
- dimensions ø 80 × 110 mm
- material AISI 304 stainless steel
With dimensions of ø 80 × 110 mm, the vessel also fits in tight spaces next to the fitting. Have it installed in the pressurised line by a professional.

Frequently asked questions
What is the IVAR.HX-016 vessel for?
It absorbs short pressure surges that occur when the flow stops abruptly, for example after a ball valve or solenoid valve closes quickly. This protects outlet fittings and filters from high dynamic pressure.
Where should the vessel be installed?
Upstream of the appliance it is meant to protect, i.e. before the outlet fitting or filter in the pressurised water line. It connects with a 1/2" male thread.
Up to what water temperature can it be used?
The manufacturer specifies a temperature range of -10 °C to +99 °C. The recommended operating temperature is up to +80 °C.

IVAR designs, develops and manufactures highly energy-efficient heating and plumbing systems. We have over 10,000 catalogue items - mass-produced products and unique items - in addition to customised systems and combinations of complex products. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Vision
To make life easier for our clients, our clients' customers and our employees, thanks to our ability to be constantly innovative.
Mission
To design and manufacture advanced hydronic solutions that reduce installation complexity and energy consumption.
“Made in Italy” adds value
IVAR has been producing heating and plumbing system components since 1985: valves for heating bodies, direct heat metering modules, heat cost allocators, pipes and fittings, substations for heating systems, distribution manifolds, radiant panel systems, and components for solar and geothermal systems. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Over 200 people are employed at our manufacturing facilities in Prevalle (in northern Italy’s Brescia province). The site has been designed to streamline our many production and operational stages.
The Italian headquarters also acts as a hub for the wider IVAR Group, set up with the goal of distributing products beyond Italy’s borders. The group now has 11 branches, in Australia, Belgium, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, the United States and Tunisia.
Know How
Research, development and numerous laboratory tests guarantee that our clients’ requests can be translated into new high-efficiency products.
The stages required for production take place internally, beginning with hot forming, which is carried out at our subsidiary Valmon Stampati. Our continuous implementation of projects under the Industry 4.0 initiative also allows us to take full advantage of new releases in technology and IT to improve our manufacturing efficiency.
As a company, IVAR is constantly evolving. Every day, we invest in strengthening our products, in improving our production processes and in attaining new patents and certifications.
