I live in a 12 year old condo that has separate in-coming supply lines for the hot and cold water (units in the building share common water heaters). When I turn the cold water on at any of my sinks or flush the toilet there is a quite noticeable bang typically near the point where the line enters my unit. The hot water supply line does not bang. Each supply line coming in has:
a. a shut-off valve, followed by
b. a Watts pressure reducer valve (25AUB), followed by
c. a vertical pipe for controlling water hammer.
Wondering if a bad diaphragm or other internal part in the Watts valve could be the cause of the pipe bang?
