Water Hammer In Shower Pipes!...I Tried This First

What happens here

After removing the old cartridge, the plumber identifies it as an Aquasource part but finds the Danco replacement for Glacier Bay is the correct fit. Before installing the new part, he temporarily reinstalls the bonnet nut without the cartridge. He then briefly turns on both the hot and cold shut-off valves one at a time to flush out any debris from the pipes, which could damage the new cartridge. A towel is used to direct the spray into the tub.

Goal: Plumbing Pipes Repair

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver — Turning the shut-off valves on the valve body
  • Towel — Directing the water spray into the tub during flushing

All right, because I don't want something to be getting stuck on the backside of this and having an issue. I don't think that's the case, but better safe than sorry. Yeah, we're sitting good here. So check this out. I'm not a fan of three eights pecs in there, right? Like, that is just a bummer. I always hate whenever they put those manifolds in and they have the three eights running everywhere.
