Water Hammer on sink hot tap

Question

I have just installed a new washing machine which doesn't require a hot water feed as where the old one did so now that hot water feed is switched off.

Since then the tap on the main sink which is on the same piperun as the old feed has developed water hammer at low flows, is there any way to stop this?

You can add a water hammer arrestor on that line. They are not expensive approx 15$ . These devices have a spring loaded chamber that dampen the water hammer most plumbing and big box stores stock them. This is the easiest diy method of fixing , if you have access to the pipes strapping them down can also solve the problem.
