I just replaced my two handle shower with a single handle “positemp” moen faucet. now when the handle is between the hot and cold limits my pipes hammer like crazy. I checked for air. any other solutions????

Did the installing person have the decency of
1- Securing the shower body properly like ANY Master/Journeyman plumber would?

2-Did the installer bother to DISASSEMBLE the plastic parts PRIOR to soldering.

3- Did the installer bother to TRY to get a flow rate ( Velocity) to prevent hydrolic shock and possible errosion of the piping system?

4- Why didnt the Installer recommend a Symmons / Powers OR a Delta Anti scald Pressure temperature balance?

5- Did the installer flush out the lines properly?

Did the installer allow for expansion and contraction of the hot water supply piping?

Yes answering questions RE piping sight UNSEEN is a challange HUH?
