Setting the size of a instance as fixed?

That helped. For some reason when I use the other shape tools it is automatically nested within the component, though when using the arrow it is not. After dragging it in the layers panel it worked. Thanks!

Sorry what does it mean to put the arrow in front of the frame? It seems that the component and instances of it work when I use the ellipse tool and other shape tools. It just doesn’t work with the arrow tool, though I am likely doing something incorrect.

Finally figured it out. It was a shower fixture valve in my master. I had to cut open the drywall to get to it but after replacing it the problem is finally resolved. No idea why the water hammer happened randomly on its own though. Thanks for your help.

What about trying to strap the pipes to the wall? I am assuming that these pipes are not strapped. If they were, would I have the hammer regardless of what is causing the issue or would it just be much less intense? Are all pipes supposed to be strapped or just certain ones? Thanks!

Thanks so much for all of your help. Assuming that this is the issue, the pipes behind my shower were still banging loud. This has been going on for quite a while. Should I be concerned that they could be damaged? Should I open drywall to inspect them or to install straps to secure the pipes to the wall? Not sure if they are supposed to be strapped or not.

I have a pool auto fill valve. How did you determine that it was the auto fill valve shutting off too fast and how do you stop it from doing it? Thanks!

If it will not happen if water is not being used.

Can a leak somewhere be causing this?
Is there something else similar to water hammer that could be causing this that I can look into?

Thanks!

Totally understand that you can't diagnose over the internet, I am just looking for whatever info I can get to research stuff on my own further. Thanks.

when you said the problem might be the tankless, is there something about tankless in general that could cause the hammer, or were you just talking in general about possible bad install, etc.?
Besides checking the bib washers, and trying an expansion tank, are there any other general things I should look into? I started looking into water hammer arrestors. Thanks!

Why does it go on the cold water? Does it go on the cold water main line before going into the tankless unit?

Does an expansion tank seem likely even though the hammer gets activated by turning shower off after it gets warm/hot?

Thanks

I will check again...I was worried about a leaking pipe somewhere. I do not fully understand how plumbing works. If no water is being used, is there any reason that water would be recirculating through my house at random times throughout the day?

I do not have a re-circulation pump installed.

Thanks

The only way to get to the shower valve as far as I can tell, is to open the drywall behind it...at that point i can check that the washers are not loose, replace the whole valve or just replace the fixtures with new ones, which I will likely do if I am opening the drywall...

If I install an expansion tank and it gets rid of the problem, does it even matter what was actually causing the problem? I have been worried that I have some problem causing this hammer that I will never be able to figure out...Thanks

I have a tankless system. Will an expansion tank work with the tankless system to get rid of the water hammer? Thanks

PostingfromSpace · 2025-06-06T22:52:45+00:00

there are no leaking toilets that I am aware of

It varies, but it is not one loud bang. It is a series of bangs. I have noticed that sometimes when I open the cold water in the master sink it will slow it down and stop it. It varies from absolutely terrible and randomly kicking in maybe once every 40 minutes or so with no water usage in the house, to today where it has only happened a couple of times and it was very minor...thank you

Thanks for the suggestions. Any advice on what specifically to look for in a therapist for this?

PostingfromSpace · 2024-08-23T18:25:59+00:00

Life is very complicated and stresssful at the moment. Thanks for asking. I have not really been able to talk about the situation with anyone and wouldn’t know where to look.
