Had this problem with all taps & toilets until I had the kitchen sink pipework modified during a kitchen/diner refit. The modified pipework which included a new stop tap, improved pipe support and fluid dynamics - no more hammering👍. Expensive fix though😅.
great video, any reason why you didn't install down near the mains shut off? Looks like you installed it up in the roof space near a boiler maybe? I need to fit one of these myself.
Was doing boiler service as well, saw that pipe and thought why not 😂 it can go anywhere to be honest, normally fit them on boiler pipework on installs 👍
Just get one that threads on to the isolator valves and attach where before a washing machine or dishwasher. Those are the worst for causing shocks as well.
Sometimes we can be too cautious...? You do not need any sealant if you are using Loctite 55.... I have never had a leak using Loctite 55 on its own... not like the olden days of PTFE tape...
Normally the location for the shock arrestor should be as close as possible to the tap, toilet or washing machine not the opposite side of the house. Locktite 55 should be applied over itself not following the thread's, for 1/2 inch it's 8 wraps! It certainly doesn't need paste over it, it already contains paste, rub it between your fingers and you'll see it! Also get rid of that diy outside tap kit, you had the water off anyway, you changed the kitchen tap why not do it while you are there! that's going to leak, they always do!
Yeah don’t need paste but didn’t leak so don’t really matter….shock arrestor can go anywhere will still absorb the increase in pressure as it’s still connected to the same pipe I didn’t fit the tap mate and if it’s not leaking or causing an issue I’m not going to point out every plumbing fault on customers houses, it just looks like I’m drumming up business. It’s more than likely been there years without fail that outside tap
Tell that to decades of plumbers including myself. I've never even heard of that one not will I be changing my ways, my paste is wras approved and that is good enough for me.
Loud or quiet is a perception issue, noise from central heating will likely be caused by pipework moving against joists or the wall, will need to clip the pipework properly or lag the affected area to reduce noise, could be caused by faulty mechanical parts like the pump but the above is the most likely issue
Doesn't require and shouldn't be. It's a bit like when I saw Plumber Parts put paste on a fibre washer. That must be the worst tutorial I've seen from any utube flick, I mean how is a fibre washer supposed to swell if you put paste all over it 🙄
Closed the cold tap the first time but the hot tap when when showing it working.
Thinking the same thing lol
Cause I just filmed myself finishing up the job to be honest didn’t have a clip of me doing the cold
There's a 3/4" inline one you can fit on the washing machine offtake without any plumbing. Also check all your pipework is clipped firmly in place 👍🏻

Least it’s sorted 🙌👍
You need a shock arrestor when you get a plumber's bill...😅
😂😂
Would of been the stop tap or loose pipework causing it
Not all the time but can be
@@bluebulldog_uk or any float valve or outside tap I can keep going 😂 I was shocked when I had my first rad valve do it 😂
Good video!
Won’t use rapid blue as,as you said, it’s a nightmare to remove a part afterwards
You didnt need a compression T ..This can be converted from 1/2 inch to 15mm by adding an olive and compression nut.
You know what…I didn’t even check 😂 still would of needed a tee thou but would of been a cheaper tee

"You might have " what?
Water hammer
Hi what is the paste
Jet lube V2 plus 👍

He wasn't there to re do the outside tap although he may or may not have suggested it, everything else is relevant

Any paste is against legionella byelaws, unless it states it.

It’s WRAS approved what I’m using
@@deanmiles8421 Have a read of HSG 274 if you want to update your knowledge a bit, its free
What’s water a bang?
Sex in a bath tub 😂
Water hammer
They don't last long
What about banging in radiator system
is it more of a clicking? that'll likely be pipes rubbing against a joists, wrap the pipes in any kind of cloth/sheepwool wrap
@killerbean9911 much louder than clicking id say

Loud bang on heating more than likely TRV, ticking noise is pipes rubbing on joists
@@bluebulldog_uk 😂 wtf is a trv? Cheers
Paste on locative. Not seen that.
Why?
Locktite
