It goes from 1/2 inch ID. to 1/4 ID. Then the ball valve I can just barely see light looking through the orifice. Do you think valve restricts flow.

I have been using this for some time now without any problems, it flows from great to me

No, I can feel no flow restriction. Typical supply lines from shutoffs to sinks are 1/4" as well, and most sinks have plenty of flow.

I have too much water flow. I had to attach a shut-off shower valve which can also be used to restrict water flow.

The flow rate is 2.5 gallons per minute, which is GENERALLY the maximum flow allowed in household faucets, showerheads etc. due to Federal regulation. 1.5 GPM is quickly becoming the new norm.

From my perspective, it doesn't restrict the flow at all. In fact, I am VERY glad that I opted for this diverter rather than the "3-way" that was suggested by the plumbing supply house.

Flow restriction. Rip it out with a pair of pliers. It's a little tricky to get out.

The water flow is not rated with the restrictor removed, but I can say I have never had to remove the restrictor on an anystream model since the 2000 came out. It just has good flow with it in.

It does lose some of its pressure holding capacity when it gets to nearly empty. That being said all you have to do is give the bulb a few quick pumps and your up and running again. I've found that if you have the water outlet on the engine at the bottom it holds the flow better. You can also always use it as a regular bladder when the pressure drops but that just "sucks"

Have no idea. I took the unit apart and removed the rubber ring. Now it flows real GOOD!

I have no idea what flow restriction diameter is but if you try to do this off of a water utility I don't think you will have enough pressure.

if you get the 1 1/2 to 2 your 2 will go on the OD of the valve . If you get the other it will go on the inside. Im sure both will work. I would go the bigger size so the water is not necking down when it goes through the valve

Mine was so tight and I couldn't squeeze open that I'm pretty sure they never cut open the valve at the factory. So I just poked a hole through with a car key (be careful not to go through the other side of the ring).Now I just have to stick my tongue over the hole when taking another breath.

It's a personal preference to remove or not remove the insert for copper. I think that insert will restrict the flow but since this is to a toilet, that would not matter. If I was using a fitting on a 3/4 inch copper line, I would remove it so to not restrict the flow.

It's really a function of the nozzle you put on it. The diameter of it seems to be narrower thanthe normal hose and I have no problem than with the pressure.

The balls in the valves are much smaller than the diameter of the pipe in the splitter so these are not 3/4" or full flow..... The only way to make full flow would be to change the 1/2" pipe from your spigot back to the main as most spigots are fed off 1/2" copper pipe and then change the spigot itself to a ball valve as these usually restrict before the opening as well and if you want a 4 way splitter like this you have to make it out of full size brass valves and brass tees and would easily cost 150$ or more.

I measured the GPM at 2.5. It does not have a flow restrictor that can be removed.

Any air leak upstream of the pump will kill the draw. The input fitting came loose on mine and allowed air to slip past the o-ring, killing the draw for me at one point. Any obstruction will do the same. Also, if the hose/tube you're using for pickup gets locked against the bottom (like putting your hand to a shop-vac hose), then you'll get obvious results, so be sure to use a stand-off and/or filter screen to help prevent this.

It is only an open-close Z-Wave valve. It will not provide any flow information.

Sorry. I don't know. I've never had a problem with the flow. My Siroflex produces a strong flow.

Good morning, Carl. While I haven't actually used a flowmeter, I will say that the water flow is significantly higher than other, cheaper valves that I've used. It IS a ball valve, so there is some reduction in flow area, but it's so much better than so many other valves that I have tried. And, yes, it absolutely shuts off completely. I've bought more, I like it so much.

It does allow for the overflow to work. It has a plastic piece that has prongs that allow it to stay a few mm from the hole.
