I'm sorry, when I said restricted flow I meant that I don't ever open
the stem up to anything like full flow, I only open it to around 2-3
quarts/minute for sustained flow. I never just open it up full blast. I
don't know that the flow through the pipe is particularly restricted by
virtue of the pipe having deteriorated. Still, your idea of a PEX
replacement may be a great idea. Thanks.
