Hugh is correct, any quick closing valve needs a water hammer arrestor. The linear movement of the water comes to a complete halt and hammers the pipe. We install them for washers, diswashers and even ice makers. In lieu of an arrestor an air chamber could be installed, a pice of pipe tee'd in and capped off just past the valve.
