the water in the house had slow flow on the hot side…cold side flow was
ok. Is this due to the valve being cut off ?
most likely
I’m surprised it had any flow.
that would sure do it
If there was flow the valve in Question had to be defective or there be a problem else where.
Looking closely at the picture, it appears that the ball valve may be ‘cracked’ open just a bit which would account for th every low flow. If I saw that in inspection, I would definitely open it some more to find out!:mrgreen:
I would not open the shutoff as it is closed for a reason.
I observe it also has Galvanized piping which has a tendency to close up over time.
