Is the Water Ram impact effective around elbows or bends in pipe?
Yes. Remember that a water column, though solid, is perfectly flexible. Just as a dozen loops put in the oil line leading from a brake pedal on a car to the brake cylinder on the wheel would operate all the same, so the kinetic wave resulting from the Water Ram will travel through a 100 ft. coil as well as through a straight line. Fittings or connections need seldom, if ever, be disturbed.
