    Why low hot water pressure in bathrooms ?
    The old water heatr has been replaced 4 weeks ago. Still low pressure.The 2 bathrooms are about 40 ft from the water heater.Do I need to run separate pipes from the water heater to each bathroom?The original plumber is no longer available. I would appreciate your thoughts on my problem. What size PVCP pipes should be used?

    Are these the areas affected ? What type of fixtures do you have in the bath. Im guessing toilet, sink, shower tub? Are all of these affected ? Post back let us know? GOOD LUCK,AC

    Cwells a solution was not offered because I wanted to know if the both bathrooms are entirely affected or if just certain fixtures in the baths are affected. If it is just the sinks have you checked the aerators on the end of the faucets. If the tub/shower is affected what type of valves are in use two handle ? Single handle ? In most applications 1/2 pipe is run to the fixtures unless they call for something larger. Was the water heater replaced in an attempt to fix the pressure issue or is this a new problem ?Post back and give us a better idea of what you have so we can better help you to solve this. GOOD LUCK,AC
