My cold water faucet is becoming very annoying every time 1 turn. it
off. It Boes off with a bang: What could be causing this? Heip!!

NSWER:
a SILENCING NOISY PLUMBING:
iO A plumbing system may produce any number of
‘noises — but it shouldn't. Each noise tells you
something about what is calling out for correction. You

a just haye to interpret the sound to apply the cure.

‘A-“chattering noise”, when a faucet is tutned on

}. or off, can be most annoying, and may make you think

‘that ‘the: whole, system is about to come apart.at the
seams. It is not usually all that serious; the problem is
likely within the faucet itself.

First, check to make sure that the faucet washer _

is tightly screwed to the stem. If the washer is worn, it
should be replaced even though the faucet is not

leaking. Also inspect the threads on the stem for signs _

of wear. If the stem (after being screwed back into the
faucet) can be moved up and down, this is a definite
indication of thread wear. Either the stem or the entire
faucet should be replaced.

Pipes “rattling”, as water passed through them,
may not be fastened securely. If they are accessible (as
in a basement or crawl space), install additional clamps
to fasten them firmly to the joists.

' Qn the other hand, a “ticking sound”. may
indicate that a pipe is fastened too tightly —- cold pipes
will expand slightly as hot water enters them, causing
this noise if there is not sufficient expansion room.

A “whistling noise” is caused when water under
pressure must pass through a point of restriction. A
common problem is with the toilet tank intake valve. If
your toilet “whistles” as it is being refilled after
flushing, try. cutting down the flow by shutting the
supply stop slightly (the supply stop is the valve below
the toilet that governs the flow of water into the tank).

Some toilet mechanisms have an adjusting screw on
the intake valve itself to solve this problem. :

“Water Hammer” is a loud, banging noise that
occurs when a faucet is shut off quickly. Behind every:

fixture, there should be an air chamber which provides

a cushion of air to absorb the force of the rushing water
— and the accompanying noise. There. are many

different types of air chambers, in addition to the

simple pipe-and-cap type, but all work on the same
principle. If the chamber becomes filled with water, its
cushioning effect is compromised.

To “recharge” the air chambers, shut down the
entire water supply system at the main valve, and
completely drain the system. Open all the faucets to
allow air into the system, then close the faucets and
tum on the main valve. If water hammer stil! persists,
you may have to knock out a few walls to install new
air chambers at the trouble spots. While this may seem
a drastic solution, it is probably preferable to risking a
burst pipe because of the condition.

A possible alternative is to install a targe air
chamber at the 'main intake valve. While there is no
guarantee, this sometimes works to alleviate the
problem.
