French term
Anti bélier à air
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Plumbing
Still part of the (very long) list of fixtures, fittings and accessories needed for a refurbishment project.
Elsewhere I have anti bélier, which I have translated as "shock arrestor", but for this term, I cannot seem to fit the "air" in. I found a few ghits for "single chamber water hammer arrestor" and a couple more for "air chamber water hammer arrestor" but for one thing they sound a mouthful and for another I am not 100% sure they're the same thing. I'm sure this part has a neat little name out there somewhere.
Help!
Thanks

To give it its full title!
As we know at this point we are dealing with plumbing (doh!) I guess you could safely leave out the 'water' part; these are also called 'surge arresters', and 'anti-hammer' is a common term used; to avoid making the phrase any more cumbersome than necessary, I'd leave out either 'water' or 'surge'.
