Hoping to get some answers or suggestions.
Amature at work:
Recently I had a pipe burst near a T joint. Had to replace and use couplers to connect the pipes again. The T joint was a 3/4 to 1/2 to 1/2. The 3/4 pipe ran into a cap and didnt run into anything so instead of replacing the T joint, i just used a 90 degree elbow to connect to a pipe that connects to the faucet. After letting dry I turned the water back on and now the pressure is roughly half of what it was before (for this faucet only). I have taken the 3/4 pipe completely out of the equation and now have only 1/2 pipes with couplers and elbows.
Did i mess up the pressure by taking out the 3/4 pipe that ran into a cap? The thing i find strange is that i was messing with only the hot water pipes. Both the hot water AND cold water now have low pressure.
Attached are two photos of old set up with the leak and one photo of the new set up.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
