At LONG last, I've completed my shower remodel (well, finished a job left incomplete by a contractor - whole different story ).
The Pegusus 1000 series shower-only valve was installed and only a small trickle of cold water flows. What I've tried, so far:
1) Removed the faceplate and opened the hot and cold screw-stops fully, but still only a trickle of cold water.
2) Tightened both screw stops, removed the cartridge, then slowly opened the screw-stop for the cold water side, but just a trickle of water came out.
Question #1: shouldn't a jet of water been released when I performed step #2, above? Since only a trickle flowed, that means I have no water pressure in the inlet line that is connected to valve body, right?
I'm thinking the only way to test the water pressure for the cold water line is to cut the pipe, then turn-on the main water line and see if any water flows (into a bucket, of course).
Am I on the right track, here?
Thanks, very much, for any replies.
