Long Distance

I was thinking immediately that the long run of pipe on the distant side of his house from the water main is "typical water hammer at its finest." You get water at 8.3 lbs per gallon moving down a long run and suddenly shut the water off= Bammm! Like a water sledgehammer.

Would the expansion tank help relieve this?
