My bathtub/shower has low water pressure all others are fine in house even the sink in the same bathroom has good pressure.
I removed shower head and knobs. Pressure is still low coming out of copper that stick through walls?

What brand is your shower valve? One handle or three knobs? About how old? Back to you, Tom

Its three years old, american standered threre are two knobs, a spikgot, and a shower head

Is your pressure equally bad for both cold and hot? Usually one or the other is strong, most frequently the cold

Same pressure with both hot and cold on

When did this start? Has any other plumbing work been done around that time?

Its never been great since I built the house. Its gotten worse over the past year or so

If the shower head is as bad as the spigot I'd suugest taking the mixer apart. There are many American Standard mixer with shower diverter. American Standard, Shower & Tub Diverters at PlumberSurplus.com (http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Cat/Shower-Tub-Diverters/1198/List?Brand=American+Standard) If we can pin it down I can tell you how to pull the cartridge to clean and hgrease it.

Not sure if this helps or not but this is the make and model num.
