hot tap rattles and bangs/shudders when it gets turned on.

[chrisj73]

as the title says we we turn on the hot tap it makes the most horrendous noise by way of banging/shuddering and rattling..
this only began to happen after we got our new central heating system installed...
can it be linked and how can it be sorted as its very annoying early morning and late night when people at home are sleeping..

thanks

Does it only happen with this tap ?

poss an old tap and the jumper is worn in the tap.

used to have similar problem, turned out to be partial vaccum on one of the capped pipes that were sitting higher than the tap, that did not have an auto air valve.

Since the pipe leading up was a needless remnant stump, It was removed. Then all taps were left open, running for a short while to purge the system of any air.
