          You can build your own water hammer arrestors. Install a tee close to the valve that is hammering. attach a length of pipe ( I like using as large of pipe as possiable and long within reason) on the vertical side of the tee. Place a cap on end of vertical pipe and your done. I have used 2 inch by 36 inch pipe on a 1 1/2 line. WORKS GREAT and it is cheaper that buying one. GOOD LUCK Doug in the woods
