Hi, i have recently purchased a home and noticing an issue with the shower valve that was not caught during inspection. Valve is kohler k-11748-ks-na with builtin diverter. When the water is on the faucet i would press the diverter then i get a back to back water hammers before it switches over to the shower. I see that the installer did not really secure this valve in the wall looks very messy. But when the water is off, should i be getting a metal to metal sound when i press the diverter. Water hammer noise seems to be coming from the same area and its just louder and 3-4 times back to back. I should note i already contacted kohler they sent me new diverter and new stem valve but the problem is still the same. Any next step suggestions is appreciated.
So i removed the shower head and 3 hammers went down to 1.
