Hello,

I posted questions about this before but I never got around to try to
fix it. I have an old Delta single valve faucet in the bathtub.
Lately the hot water pressure has been awful. I tried taking things
apart to see what I was dealing with. I don't really see anything that
could be clogged. The pipes are copper up from the basement but
galvanized across to the bath tub. Pressure is good to the sink.

Here is a link to a picture of the valve.

Does this valve look familiar?? Anything here to clean out?? Any
thoughts on getting the pressure back??

Thanks so much for any thoughts.

Pull the 2 rubber seats and springs out and flush it out
(protect anything that might get sprayed).

The galv pipe is probably clogged though.

Sorry for the delay. I tried this and it seemed to help some. The
bathroom still needs and overhaul though. Thanks for your help..
