Kodiak Controls BW42 Snubber

The Kodiak Controls BW42 Snubber, also identified by model 06-310, is an essential field-proven component for protecting sensitive instrumentation from pressure spikes and rapid pulsations. Built with a heavy-duty brass construction, this 1/4 inch snubber is specifically engineered to dampen hydraulic and pneumatic shocks before they reach your pressure gauges, switches, or transducers. By installing this pressure snubber upstream of the measurement point, technicians can effectively neutralize water hammer effects and oscillations that otherwise lead to mechanical fatigue and premature instrument failure.

Ideally suited for refrigeration systems, pumps, and compressors, the Kodiak BW42 features a precision-engineered 1/4" orifice and porous disc technology that resists corrosion while providing consistent dampening. Its 1/4" NPT threads ensure seamless integration into standard industrial pipelines, offering a compact design that fits easily into tight mechanical rooms or crowded manifolds. For any professional installation involving fluctuating line pressure, this snubber is a non-negotiable addition to ensure long-term system stability and reading accuracy.

• Durable Brass Material: Provides superior resistance to corrosion in non-acidic fluid and gas applications.
• Shock Absorption: Effectively dampens high-frequency pressure pulsations to protect internal gauge movements.
• Universal Compatibility: Features standard 1/4" NPT threading, making it compatible with a wide range of HVACR parts and systems.
• Compact Profile: Allows for direct mounting to gauges or within manifold blocks without interfering with surrounding components.

• What types of media can the BW42 handle? This brass snubber is designed for use with water, air, non-corrosive gases, and light oils. Avoid use with salt water or highly acidic fluids.
• Can this snubber be used for both liquid and gas? Yes, the 06-310 snubber is effective in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications for dampening sudden surges.
• How does this part prevent gauge failure? By using a restricted orifice or porous element, it slows down the rate of pressure change reaching the sensing element, preventing "needle flutter" and mechanical wear.
