Just installed a new shower with new copper pipes going from galvanized pipe now there is very little water pressure why?
Anytime you disturb galvanized pipe you usually have some rust or buildup come loose. This will either stick in the valve or clog the shower head. Depending on how old the galvanized pipe is and how hard your water is you may have to clean the control valve several times.
Do you use PVC pipe cement when connecting a PVC pipe to a galvanized metal pipe?
No, do not use glue. Use teflon tape or pipe dope on the threads. You should also make sure you always put the male PVC thread into the female metal thread. If you do it the other way you will tend to split the PVC fitting when you tighten the threads.
