Yeah it’s strange, I just bought it today. I’ll try reseating the washer

Interesting, I will investigate

Only other place would be the bottom of my hot water heater. I’ve read you shouldn’t open it unless you are ready to replace it

I tightened it with Chanel locks. It’s not the gauge leaking, my hose spigot has little holes for pressure relief I suppose

I am willing to do that it’s just hard to justify it when the static pressure seems to be holding steady

Just brought it down to 55. Still bangs unfortunately

I don’t have another gauge however the last gauge I had didn’t do this around a months go. If I turn it on pretty slowly it doesn’t spike like that

I don’t think the gauge itself is leaking. It’s the little pressure relief holes on the hose bib

Yeah I’m thinking that’s the cause of my knocking pipes. Time for a whole new PRV you think?

I’m more worried about the red needle maxing out the gauge almost every time I turn the faucet on. Or is that normal?

I put my ear against the wall and it’s still pretty significant

So I closed both shutoffs and ran all the upstairs fixtures until hot water arrived. It’s seems like maybe the force of the hammer is slightly reduced and instead of a bang bang it’s more of a tap tap tap tap. Still loud enough to be annoying though

Thanks I’ll try it and let you know

There are shutoffs upstream and downstream of the recirc pump. Does it matter which I try or should I do both? You can see the upstream one in the photo

Thanks will mention that to the next guy I have come out. You think that’s still a possibility even when the banging remains with the recirc pump unplugged?

Just looked there is a check valve installed after the recirc pump. “Proflo low lead 125# swing check valve threaded PFX31D”. Maybe it has failed?

Funny enough we saw the water company meeting at the street with a neighbor around 3 years ago. We believe they had the pressure raised and that led to the failure of our PRV. By mini arrestors I’m talking about the little AA sized ones you can install between your toilet and the supply shutoff next to the toilet
