water hammer?

WillieG.  It's not a hammering noise, it sounds more like someone is taking paper and keeps krinkling the entire time it is in a heat cycle.  I haven't had any time to address the problem yet.  Our company will be shutdown for about a week and a half beginning at noon tomorrow so I plan on using that time to try to purge the zone hoping that's all it'll take.  If not, I'll keep trying until I find the problem.

Thanks for the ideas everyone.  I should have this problem solved soon I hope.

Hi all - Well, I think I have solved the problem I've been having in the noisey baseboard.  The zone that fed my bedroom has those "Sharkbite" connections in them.  I did that a few years ago when I had to service the zone and I had completely forgotten about them.  Due to construction, I had to extend the zone in my bedroom into another room where heat did not exist and that's when I found the Sharkbite connectors.  I took them out and sweated in everything I needed to extend the zone.  After purging the zone of air, I let the OWB do it's thing and at the moment all is quiet when the room asks for heat.  I'm hopeful I have stumbled upon the problem.  I'll keep you posted if the problem shows up again.  Roger
