Dometic 320 water valve

The water valve on our when slams shut causes the pipes to bang, water pressure is at 45psi tried a resistor still no joy. Any ideas?
  • If the water pressure is good (you are using a pressure regulator)... not a Camco piece of junk.... then replace the valve

    And if you let that foot pedal snap up hard you WILL sooner or later crack the pedal mechanism and be buying a new toilet...
  • I know they say to push down and pull foot away to let it snap closed. Try quickly lifting the door pedal instead. I have the same toilet and that is what I do in the middle of the night to make less noise and it still functions fine.

    From the post title I think it's the toilet.
  • The water pressure regulator is good, and the resistors are like one for a washing machine.
  • Probably "pressure regulator", but more interesting is which valve closes so fast that it causes water hammer??
