Water Hammer on Shower
Discussion
I am in the middle of re-doing my bathroom. Today I fitted the new shower and all is fine except when I turn it off there is massive water hammer on the hot feed. The pipes are reasonable well secured to the wall.
I have seen on TV (Holmes on Homes) installing lengths of copper above the shower feed pipe to give the water somewhere to escape to. I have heard also that this maybe against building regs in the UK? It is a moot point anyway as the pipe work is largely boxed in now.
I have seen mentioned some shock arrestors but these seemed to be mostly America and hence are imperial measurements. Does anyone know where I can get on to fit 15mm pipes?
Cheers

Arthur - Yes I thought that was the case.
