My new-to-me house has a wicked water hammer, but it's worst on just the bathroom vanity. Would putting a hammer arrestor on the washing machine help? I'm thinking it's too far away.
I have the water tank, then 15 or 20 feet to a tee. One side of the tee feeds the washer, dishwasher, kitchen sink, 15' or so of line. The other side of the tee feeds the problem vanity and is likewise 15' away. The washing machine, dishwasher etc do not seem to induce any hammer, but the one vanity on the other branch sure does.
I tried closing the valves on the vanity to reduce pressure, no change (that sink does have some wicked water flow!). I've added a bunch of hangers onto the copper pipes, but I don't see any pipe movement when we make the hammer occur.
The problem vanity is copper all the way to the faucet. Maybe changing the line from copper to a standard hose would fix? Give it something that can flex a bit, that is.
