I have a 2 outside spickets with low water pressure. I went to Home Depot and spoke with a plumbing guy. He said that I might be helped by replacing the inside shutoff valve (which is the typical looking red handle kind which you turn a few times to shut off) with a ball valve, as there is very little restriction. I replaced it and it did not help much at all.
The particular spicket I'm working on is VERY near the city water inlet that comes into my basement. The main run is 3/4" and there is a 3/4" to 1/2" tee that is used to supply water to the spicket.
It probably does not matter... but the tee comes strait up off of the 3/4, then the 1/2" copper connected to it makes a 90deg turn before going strait to the spicket.
Any ideas? What PSI should I expect?
Thanks in advance!
