I have hammer arrestors at every sink, washing machine and inline inline in hot and cold water trunks in the house. I have copper tubes as shock arrestors in the wall for showers and bath tubs. I just never protected myself against the city. Are you suggesting putting the thermal expansion...

The water pressure at the hot water tank made it up to 70psi last night. Regulator is set at 60psi and drops to 50psi when you flow the water. Either I have a lot of thermal expansion that the expansion tank could not handle or a PRV that is leaking. I am going to re-pipe the system and I can...
