    K-2976 Showerhead water flow vastly lower after remodel adds twin ell

    So I found a hose I could use to run off the stops, directly (removing the stop, essentially, although leaving its filter screen in place). I find 4.75 GPM coming out of the hot water line at that stop, and 5.5 GPM coming out of the cold water line. Feels like I should be getting more than the...
