Good day ladies and gents,
Recently I had to swap out a hose Bibb due to leaking, and I ended up getting a cool 1/4 turn one from Lowe’s. The problem that I’m having though is now when I run my sprinklers, I notice the other side of my house is running full pressure and the side with the new bibb is running at approximately 1/2-3/4 capacity.
My question is, do I have an underlying problem, or are the 1/4 turn bibbs a bad idea?
Also, if the Bibb is the problem, is there one you would suggest to replace it with for good flow.

Also here’s a comparison to the two.
