I read a review on the washer I am buying that said " the hoses were too small on the inside diameter and it caused water hammering, these were the only ones best buy had in stock" what is the INTERNAL diameter of these hoses? null

Now that you mention it mine "hammers" too, thought it might have been the pump itself But I might try larger diameter rubber hoses I already have

hoses are not the cause of hammering. The valve closes causing hammering. Reduce the pressure.

JamesM · Answer

The only time I heard of this problem is when the water supply in the home does not have an anti hammer set up installed. These devices act as a shock absorber for the water. The washer has a valve which shuts water supply very quickly which causes back pressure to hammer. Same as if you rapidly turned off a faucet.

Ptrusted · Answer

Yes that may the reason my pipes sounds like they breaking.  I never thought it could be the hoses.

AmirA · Answer

the nozzle is standard size (based upon pluming) if any water came out, it is because the thread was damaged or did not use things like Teflon tape
