Did a search on this forum but all threads dealt with how to muffle water hammer, not whether it can do any harm. Long story short after installing a new irrigation valve I heard three bangs this morning when the new valve closed and the next (old) valve opened. They are all inline valves. Something like CLUNK ... clang ... clang.
It doesn't bother me but can that destroy or dislodge stuff over time? Or cause leaks at PVC thread joints?
Installing a Sioux Falls hammer arrester would be a real bear at that location. Literally no headroom. It's a copper water main of which a shut-off followed by a PVC manifold taps off.
