 PLEASE HELP,,,, I have A Main Feed and Inside Pipe question
Author: jimmarhevka (FL)

I have a 1" water feed into my 4 foot crawl space. I placed 3 ,, 1" tees that each downsize to 1/2 pvc. The first tee feeds my shower, the second T feeds my toilet and the last T feeds my bathroom sink. This is a complete new install in a house thats been vacant for 5 years or so. My bathroom sink is the only outlet getting water, I cant figure out why. This is a guest bathroom, I will need at some point to get water to my kitchen which is 12 feet to the right and eventually to my master bathroom which abutts my guest bathroom. I just dont understand why the last T gets water to the sink but no water is coming to my toilet (2nd T) and shower (1st T). Any help WILL BE GREATLY appreciated
T T T
___________|______|__|__cap

The above ___ lines represents the water feed into my house, coming from left to right. Each "|" represents a T... The T by __cap is end of water feed run. Again I PRAY that someone can help me figure this out, I tried to be proactive by runnig it this way to be able to fix future issues. Just dont get why first and second run get NO water, barley a drip if that.

have you tried loosening the supply tube to the toilet to see if there is water there?
it could just be sediment or debris clogging things. did you get alot of rusty chunks out of the bathroom faucet when you turned first it on?

I agree with Packy. Your problem is caused by sediment clogging the small orifices in the fixtures. You may be able to disassemble and clean. A small piece of rust debris can cause a clog.

You can fix this. Let us know how we can help. Pictures would be nice.
