Water Hammer Arrester Question

conroyian

Hey all,
I searched the existing threads for an answer but I didn't see one so I apologize if I missed a similar thread.

I recently installed a 4 fixture bathroom (urinal, sink, toilet, shower in this order from supply). I believe there is a water hammer problem when I flush the urinal. I installed a hammer arrester, size AA, about 8 feet from the valve of the urinal. It took care roughly 2/3 of the noise but it's not completely gone. Should I use a size B arrester? does it need to be installed right before the valve of the urinal (hopefully not since I will have to go into drywall)? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Your plumber will know.

thanks 22....i appreciate the help. I am a contracter and do own my own business but I'm not a plumber. If you have any questions regarding carpentry I'll be sure to not help you.
thanks again

Seriously, there is no way an honest professional plumber can diagnose your situation over the internet. You ain't a plumber and you are most likely breaking the law by plumbing for other people without a plumbing license.

Why should I make a bad situation worse by giving potentially incorrect advice when I cannot even see the situation? Now if I walked on the job I could tell you exactly what to do to fix this.

Hey, how do we even know you are a contractor? Your first post on here is to try to get free advice from the real pros in a field you most likely have no business being in.

Look it up and please get off of my thread. How do I know your a contractor? It looks like you sit on the pc all day and bash people. I'm just looking for some advice from fellow contractors. Isn't this what this website is for or am I missing something?

Not that it's any of your business but I had a union plumber rough everything in for me. I can't get him on the phone right now and I was looking for some quick advice. No big deal.

There is never any way of knowing who is real and who is not on the internet. We just take people at their word and there is really no other way to do it.

A newbie REALLY rockin' the Boat. NOT a good way to start.

I understand your dissatisfaction........But that is no way to respond.

You will have to admit though 22rifle........You can be obnoxious at times.........Just as I can be concerning certain topics. I have learned, sort of, that it is easier to ignore than to open new cans of worms!

Ohio required you to hold a plumbers license to do plumbing work in your state, why are you doing plumbing without a license.

22rifle

Yeah, I just promised Nathan in a PM that I would back off a bit and asked him to holler at me if he sees me getting out of line.

I get sick and tired of the BS in real life and when the same jokers bring their BS onto this forum I tend to get a bit grumpy.

But that's OK. I will be spending more time over at a new place where the DIYers won't be allowed and less time here.

conroyian

Ron, read my post. I said a union plumber roughed everything. I dont need a license to put a p trap in. Don't comment if you can't help or feel your to superior to. Like I said, I'll get a call back tonight and it will be all good...just thought I would try this site out.

22....again...I'm not a diy'r and maybe you should try getting off of your high horse.

Ron The Plumber

If you alter add or change plumbing on a system you need a licence, you said you installed the hammer arrester, so I ask again why are you doing plumbing without a license?

Simply questions not hard to answer it.

MALCO.New.York

Do not go away. You have good input.

This is not "High Horsing" nor is it a kick in the teeth. It is a way for all here to see what you are made of. A "Hazing" of sorts.

Read some of this post and see what I mean.

The Licensing Issue is a real one. Something to think about.

well that's all good and I really don't mind being "hazed" but I really was just looking for a simple answer. never mind......carry on with your personal conversations on my thread.

Ron The Plumber

Don't take this the wrong way, we as plumbers need to protect our industry, we spent time and school and lots of hard labor to get to where we are today, If we let everyone thats come in here get the answers they are in search of we might as well stop being plumbers.

If you get away with doing plumbing once, who says you won't stop there.

My replies might seem harsh to you but to me there legit question/s, as your quoted, I really was just looking for a simple answer, but I see it won't get a answer.

Have a Good Day
