Kinetic 12mm PVC Anti-Hammer Tap Valve 2 Pack | KIN1390

That loud banging or thumping sound when you shut off a tap quickly is water hammer — a pressure surge caused by the sudden stop of water flow through your pipes. Left unaddressed, water hammer can stress pipe joints, fittings, and appliances over time. The Kinetic 12mm PVC Anti-Hammer Tap Valve (KIN1390) is a practical, cost-effective solution designed to absorb and minimise these pressure surges at the tap, restoring quieter, smoother operation to your household plumbing.

Part of Kinetic’s comprehensive trade-quality plumbing range, this valve is independently batch release tested and backed by an Australian-owned business with national aftermarket service and spare parts support — giving you confidence in both the product and the brand behind it.
