I just installed this valve. Water flow when we turn on the faucet is very low, almost unusable. Is there a rated water flow for normal use??

My water flow is unaffected. I'd say something isn't right. I really don't know

If it was correctly installed, I am going to guess it is a defective part. My original valve went bad after a few years in the same way you are describing. I replaced it with this part and everything was fine.

there is most likely a input valve that regulates water flow into the tank. Simpy turn it up. It's also possible the tube from the tank to the faucet is kinked or clogged. This tube is prone to failure

Haven't installed faucet as yet. Sorry I don't have an answer for you at this time. Sue

I'm not sure if I completely understand your issue, but I do know that I had an unconventional faucet and this youtube video solved all my problems! All it required was a pair of pliers. In fact, I didn't actually have to buy the part she buys in the video, so pull yours out and see if you need to buy one before you go out and spend the money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYG12CoNQW8 If this isn't what's going on with yours let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

is there water coming out of the spout? is the handle go all the way to the closed position? the valve is probably worn out, there may be an o ring you can replace. I have not seen this problem before and have had mine foe close to 10 years, and I have real good water pressure.. I hope my reply helps.

Never. It sounds like you've got the water flow valve knob at the wall turned off, broken, or something in the line obstructing flow. Call their 800# in the instructions. It might be 1-800-342-7377

I have a spigot on the outside wall and I just turn it to adjust the stream to low... mine works great after I finally got the dogs to figure it out. sounds like yours might need to be returned for another one

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

The faucet has two parts. The mixing valve which is attached to handle used turn on the water and adjust the temperature and the pressure regulator that automatically maintains the pressure at the mixing valve. If you can't adjust the temperature the pressure regulator probably is broken. However, you might as well replace both.

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.

spigot may be defective. I had to order a new one after 1st year. If you look at other reviews you will see that other people had trouble with the spigot also. I took the little handle off and turned the little knob with a pliers...a pain but it opens the valve. You should also check to make sure there is no debris clogging up the opening and that there is enough water to cover the opening of the spigot. Hope all this helps!

The water flow should resemble what you see in the advertisement photograph on the Amazon item page; make sure the spray/flow buttons on the retractable faucet nozzle are pressed-in all the way plus verify that the momentary water flow on/off is not stuck in the closed position. I've had my faucet for four years and it has worked very well; the nozzle became clogged with water deposits after about two years but I was able to replace just that part.

Yes, replace that valve. High water pressure can cause damages in faucets, etc.

I tighted (almost closed) the valves/ register under the sink in order to adjust the water flow. I believe the faucet is designed to provide a lot of water.

I don't know about the gpm; I had a plumber install. My water pressure and flow rate from the faucet is really strong.

It appears that there is a flow restrictor in the spray head at the point where it attaches to the hose. I experienced unacceptably low water flow immediately after installing this faucet, so I took another look and discovered the flow restrictor. I removed the O-Ring and the little plastic part with holes in it...then reinstalled the spray head. My water flow is now just right. I went from about .9 gallons per minute to about 1.33 gpms after removing these parts.
