Bathroon hot water faucet bangs
Both my bathroom faucets bang when the hot water is turned on. If I turn either one on full blast it will bang, and the water will pulsate and spatter, the shaking will continue and then the water will stop coming out and the shaking/bang will still continue until I turn off the faucet. If I turn the fuacet down a halfway it will act like a normal faucet. What can I do about this?

Hi. My question is similar to one asked a few posts ago except this is a 1 handle faucet. I plan on maintaining the boiler from now on but I have to fix the flow problem first. I disconnected the hot water supply line to the faucet and the pressure is excellent so I assume the problem is in the...
