sufficient.

eye/face wash head and remove the
four screws to disassemble the head.
Clean flow control and reassemble

above solution. (Possible non-leveled

Probable clogging of flow control inside
shower head. Unscrew shower head
off of elbow and clean rubber flow
control.

6. Water does not drain properly.

6a. Check your drain system for debris.

Check the main waste line of your
building to see if it does handle the
capacity required for the entire
drainage system.

7. Water leak between joints or

fittings.

persists, the application of hot water
will sometimes reseat improperly
applied joint compound. After 30
minutes wait and retest, a persistent
leak will necessitate reassembly and
additional sealant.
