Hi,
I've got my new plumbing in, and have a problem with the tub/shower pressure.
It's fed by 1/2" copper coming off the same 3/4" pipe that runs to the toilet and sink. I'm getting about 6 gallons per minute flow from those fixtures, but less than 2.5 gpm from the tub filler.
At this point I'm thinking that the shower valve is faulty (brand new American Standard one-handle), and I should cut it out and clean it or replace it. Before I start cutting, does this sound right to you all?
Thanks,
Joe
