hammering faucet. Did you replace the water supply lines? You want to put in extra pipe on the supply lines past where they go to the faucet. I kinda looks like an "H" then the plumbing to the faucet comes up from th center of the "H"

the water supply lines are comming from below.The two side lines act like shock absorbers when you turn off the water. the water shoots up them. then back down. They absorb the slam of water.

I hope all of my "Artwork" helped.

The picture didn't work.. think of it as an "H" with a line going up from the middle of the horizontal line. that's the line that goes to the faucet.
