They can also get clogged with debris (though unlikely with city supply) and sometimes fail for no apparent reason (though again, unlikely). These can have trouble if the supply pressure is below what they're set at - I'm not 100% sure what happens but I'd bet it would reduce the pressure like what you've said. Since our humble beginnings in 1983, Ram Products has graduated from selling chemicals and detergents to being Oklahoma’s premier service center and supplier of chemicals, detergents, commercial pressure washers, cleaning equipment, aqueous parts washer cabinets, wastewater equipment, air compressors, parts. You may also have a pressure regulator on your house (see pic below).

The resulting shock wave, called Kinetic Energy, hits. If it doesn't, there may be something clogging your nozzle or hose. The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air, which strikes the column of water in a clogged pipe. You can also check the hose when this happens: disconnect it from the hose bib (aka spigot), and see if that has a reduced flow as well. This happens a lot in subdivision homes (which are built using the bare minimum amount of money required to meet code), where all the branch lines are 1/2". A RAM pump creates a similar 'water spurt' about once a second, and uses each spurt to drive a small.

Not only for fixed gas appliances, but also for movable ones such as gas hobs and. If you cover the end of the hose with your thumb for a moment and then let go, the sudden spurt of water from the build-up of pressure will cause the water to flow up somewhat higher for a moment before settling back into the previous flow. Other uses of water + small linesĭepending on the size of pipes and the way it's plumbed in, it could happen if something/something else in your house was using water (dishwasher, washing machine, shower). operating pressure: 200 millibar, connections M24.
