noisy pipes after using hot water tap

richjord · 8 May 2006

HI, I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED A BATH AND SINK IN THE BATH ROOM, WHILST MAKING SOME OTHER CHANGES I ALSO DRILLED THROUGH A RADIATOR PIPE UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS, ALL HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND BLED THE RADIATORS BUT NOW, EVERYTIME WE USE THE HOT WATER TAP A LOUD HUMMING/VIBRATING SOUND IS HEARD FROM THE PIPES ( COLD WATER PIPE I'M SURE
) AND IT ONLY STOPS WHEN THE COLD WATER TAP IS LEFT TO RUN FOR A WHILE. ANY IDEAS ONHOW TO SOLVE THIS ???

As long as you don`t think the singular of premises is premise.......you can spell how you like.......and the ballvalve on the feed cistern in the loft is causing the noise

as it replenishes the water that is drawn through the hot cylinder.That`s the most likely scenario
