Keep us informed. Good luck.
Thank you for pointing that out.Some cheap showers valves have cartridges that contain check valves that will bounce when faucets are turned off quickly.
Any way of enlisting your wife to help, turning the water on and off while you try to track down the noise ? Sometimes you can find it, sometimes it's hard to do since noise seems to travel. I've used a mechanics stethoscope before to to this.Thanks. yes if the faucet is slowly closed - Then no bang.
What did you use to connect the water supply to your fixtures?
Can you feel the "thump" in the fixture or the pipe?
Does the sound vary between the toilet flush and the sink usage?
Bottom line, you need to determine the absolute source of the noise before going any further. It would be a real shame if you change to PEX and still had this issue.
