I knew I needed a water hammer arrestor, I just wasn't sure in the plumbing system where I needed it. The klunk was happening about 15 ft. of pipe away, not at the toilet. In looking over the types of arrestors and reading the reviews, I ran across this specialty unit. If it would work it would be amazing. No tearing out walls, very affordable unit, and looked like a 10 minute install.
From the reviewsI was concerned about 2 things.\:
1. It often leaked (but one reviewer suspected it was the hidden threads of the removable seat.)
2. Sometimes it just didn't work.
For concern #1, I decided to remove the concealed seat and check for any thread sealer before I made any attempt at an installation. You need a pretty large hex wrench for this (don't use a wide screwdriver blade like one reviewer recommended, as the soft brass hex can strip out smooth fairly easily). Most hardware stores will sell a plumber's "seat wrench", but I found that the hex wrench for tightening the jaws on my lathe was just the right size. After removing the threaded seat, I could see a paltry amount of plumbing dope on the threads, with lots of gaps. I cleaned all this off with a small wire brush (much like a tooth brush) and wrapped the threads with plumber's teflon tape. Then reinserted the seat and tightened it securely with the hex wrench (this is where a screwdriver might strip out the hex).
The above work actually took longer than the installation of the unit. Mostly looking for the right hex wrench and the teflon tape. But I am certain it was the right thing to do. Maybe it would not have leaked, but it looked suspicious.
The actual installation was so quick and easy that it is not worth mentioning.
and it worked. I turned up the water flow at the toilet to a much higher flow than it had been, and it STILL worked. No Klunk! I opened the valve 100% and got a small klunk...so I backed off just a little.
I have no answer for concern #2 (sometimes it just didn't work for some people). But it worked for me, and it doesn't leak. Truth be told, I would delete half a star for the suspect thread dope, but the system doesn't allow that. And honestly, probably any professional plumber would advise to always check for something like this on any preassembled unit. So I'm pretty darned happy with a $20/20 minute repair.

I accidentally over tightened once so much I spun the arrestor a bit and saw a thread under the plastic nut. I discovered that there was threaded screw component the cone washer was sitting on and it wasn't completely tighten into the unit. I added some teflon tape and screwed it tight using a flat head screwdriver large enough catch the hexagon shaped hole. No more leaks and no more water hammer. Hope this helps someone, took me 4 days of trial and error to figure it out.

We've been having water hammer in our house for months every time we flushed the toilet. Then I started researching the loud noise and noticed that it really needs to be taken care of since it can damage pipes and joints. This product is definitely the solution. It took about 3 seconds to install and you can definitely put it right on the toilet and have it hidden right behind the tank. So you will never even notice it again. It can be pointed up, down, sideways, whatever. Mine has the stub sticking out parallel to the ground and is pointed behind the tank so it is totally out of sight. All you do is turn off the water to the toilet, flush, flush again to get all the water out of the tank, unscrew the flexible water line to the toilet, screw the arrestor onto the toilet, screw the hose onto the arrestor, turn back on the water, and bingo no more water hammer.
It is strange that newer houses do not come with this pre-installed, but then again our house was built by a "reputable" company which seems like they cut corners whenever they could to keep costs down. Our house was built in 2006 so don't think just because you have a new house you have arrestors pre-installed. You might not. Like me!
