hi all, had a burst pipe before christmas, dad replaced a section of pipe and used some plastic fittings on copper pipe, and all was fine untill when you run the hot tap you get a strange clunking noice in the pipe - replaced the fittings with compression fittings (this made no difference) so replaced the head of the tap (new valve,washer etc) this to made no difference
its a normal system with two tanks in the roof and a cyclinder,
Only happends on the one hot pipe no noises any were else in the house
all out of ideas its like air is trapped is this possible ?????
it cant be banging on anything (ive checked and checked)
edit this is the down stairs washbowl (hot water) pipe
doesnt do it until the hot water runs through the pipe
its sucking in air or air is stuck somewere ? its only the down stairs toilet washbowl but still annoys me being a very fussy sod
plumber called out the other week (didnt charge) as he couldnt find anything wrong - he couldnt make it do it
only does it as i say when the hot water comes through the pipe (which i add is down the wall) as it comes from upstairs)
like its gurggles/clunks as the water flows through the pipe - couple of clunks and all ok (doesnt effect flow) that seems to be unafected
anyone ????
