    I remember when I re did all my black iron with copper. I had a pro plumber replace old gate valve because I was afraid I'd snap it in basement wall. He even said, This may snap and we'll be digging. He was able to put in a ball shut off without breaking line. I did the rest of work. Wife was kind of pissy because of the cost. Until she took that first shower. Then she noticed how fast toilet refilled and how the hose sprayer in kitchen blasted grime off the dishes and how fast the washer filled up. That was 30 years ago. I don't think I've impressed her since, lol. Thanks Steven. That was a rough one.

    Many many NEWER shut off valves.
    Many many newer flexible pipes
    under the sinks.
    No on ever noticed the low flow
    problem?
    Obviously this stuff has been
