Default Watter Hammer & noisy pipes

Not to mention the little buggers are 10 semolians each! A "T" and 12" of
pipe are a lot better. I've never known them to become waterlogged as
others here have suggested.

Some places have vertical, dead-end pipes attached some place, which

takes years but I have no idea how many years.


The little ones I bought have flexible rubber, I think, to keep the
air from dissolving into the water, but eventually the rubber will
break and since the things I bought are only 4 or 5 inches long and
thinner than most pipes, the air will get absorbed even quicker, once
it starts.

It's been about 10 or 12 years. So far so good. Again, I live alone so
this and many things last longer.
