Is the orange piece of plastic inside a flow restrictor or is it used to distribute the water evenly?

Flow restriction. Rip it out with a pair of pliers. It's a little tricky to get out.

The orange piece is a filter to keep any large particles from entering the small orifices. It also works to distribute water more evenly but primarily a filter. The flow restrictor is inside the cartridge in the shower valve.

Not sure but for that many sprayers i don't think it has a restrictor. It has less force than a regular head but its probably due to the amount of sprayers p.s we enjoy it

There is no restrictor. Inside the handle part (which comes apart with a small twist - see locked and unlocked icons on the handle) is the filter tube, which removes chlorine, etc. The pressure flow can be altered on the spray dodk face, using the lever at the side of the face.Hope this helps!

I'm not a plumbing expert, but I installed this valve last year, and it works exactly as expected. To answer your question, I don't think it restricts normal flow when open, but obviously restricts almost all flow when closed (it's a brass valve, so that's apparently built in as a safety). I highly recommend this valve.

There is a photo of the attachment on the box. They say "Incudes concentrator for precise air flow".

Very low flow. The green screen at the base mentioned by reviewers is NOT the real flow restrictor. The real restrictor is a tiny hole about 1/8-inch diameter, molded deep inside a black tube in the handle. You can't access it without destroying the shower head. See one reviewer's photos comparing the flow restrictor to the size of a pencil point.

I don't remember. I think there was a plastic washer that I took out, but I'm not sure. Our does seem to have good flow, so it does not feel like it is restricted.

It has great flow. I don't think it has a restrictor in it, it flows really fast. I put this faucet in my washroom tub and it's been great.

if you switch it so either 1 of the heads work solely by itself, then yes. And as far as restrictor, I don't think the screen inside is removeable. If it is, I'd like to know. Hope this helps a little. BTW, I am very happy with my purchase. When I have the water on hot, it feels like a spa.

The flow is excellent, even with the restrictor. The faucet uses fluidics to make the flow feel stronger and fuller without the actual volume. Technology at work!

Yes, it has a flow restrictor, but the flow rate is very good. I'm extremely pleased with the quality and functionality of this faucet. It is everything it is described as being and looks as good or better than the picture. The flow rate may not be quite as fast as an "open" faucet, but it's a tiny trade-off for having the pull-down spray function and a beautiful, heavy-duty laundry room faucet. My husband said the install was easy and everything is included. We were both totally pleased with the purchase. Hope this helps.

No. You do not have to remove the inside plastic part for Copper, PVC, or Pex. The valve has a 1/4 Turn (90 degree) knob that controls the flow from the 1/2" inlet to the 3/8" outlet. Go to YouTube and see the video at this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RiqhtvgrH8

There is a filter and a flow restrictor. The filter is the first you see and it is white. The flow restrictor is in the ball assembly and is either blue or green. You can remove both, but the filter does not restrict flow, so removing the flow restrictor is enough.

I think it does have a flow restrictor, but it seems to have plenty of pressure and fills a bucket fast. I think the best part about the faucet is the pull out nozzle. It Is one of the few orb laundry faucets That have that.

Yes you can and I would recommend removing it before installing it to save you from having to remove it and reinstall it again later because it definitely restricts the water flow with it installed. The directions come with it and easy to understand and the flow restrictor is a piece of cake to remove.

It does allow for the overflow to work. It has a plastic piece that has prongs that allow it to stay a few mm from the hole.

This thing is fantastic. I believe it is the amount of pressure to push the spring inside the housing open for a full flow of water. I used this on my sprinkler system from a rain harvest tank. The first pump I had didn't have enough pressure to open the valve all the way for good flow. Went with a bigger pump and all was well. Hope that helped
