Has anyone else experienced a problem with the T-Valve greatly reducing/completely stopping the flow of water into the tank?

Nope, I have no problem with the unit. I put it in low pressure and it works fine.
852057
I don't have any problem with it. I've been using it for almost five months now

Slowing a bit, yes. It has not been greatly noticeable though. Seeing as this was made in China, there can be defects from one unit to another. I would contact seller for a replacement.

Yes I am one of the victims, how did you solve it. Do I need to replace it?

I don't currently have that problem here but at my previous residence I used vinegar to clean the top and the tool to scale the tank input if you have very hard water you may want to use a filter.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

No, I have not had this problem but if I did the first thing I would is see if the ISI had been dropped & the handle was out of alignment getting stuck on the valve.

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

In my opinion these T valves are not worth a nickle. I've installed four and three leaked. No matter what I've done the leaks could not be stopped. With the fourth I was just lucky. My leaks were at the connection between the toilet and the valve. It leaked to the floor not into the tank. In your case the ball within the valve must be defective.

I would only be guessing but if no water is going through it must be a problem with the ceramic dome as it is the slowest part (unless it has a crack then it is too fast) if you cleaned it and still no flow I would suggest you contact customer service by telephone and they could possibly send a replacement. They were helpful when I spoke to them about parts.That said, insure there is no plastic film over either filters

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

No I have not had this problem. I have had it a few years. No drips. I would guess it is not likely to stop either, just due to the nature of drips.

I believe there is an adjustment screw that increases or decreases the flow of water on the fill valve. You should also be able to adjust the float that shuts off the water flow to a level that fills the bowl more fully. Sounds like the float is set to shut off the flow of water before the toilet and tank is set to stop at the correct level. Check for an owners manual or write or call American Standard and they should be able to help you. Good luck.

Yes, i had the same issue. don not open the shut off valve to full. Adjust it by opening it from quarter to half, again depend on your water pressure. I was fine by opening it a little less then quarter.

I don't know, I don't have a problem with mine. Maybe there is built up sediment in your tank and sprayer. I hope that this helps. I also have a filter for the water on mine.

Well, that's interesting. I stopped using it because it was too low flow, esp when the water was all the way over on hot. The water never felt hot enough and on that setting, there was really no flow at all.

Some times if the filter is tightened too much it seems to shut off the water flow. Try loosening it and see if that works. If not then call your supplier,I have found them to be very helpful.

There shouldn't be anything to prevent this. I would recommend installing the filter system and making sure it works first, and ensuring you have the correct diameter of the lines feeding the special faucet and the refrigerator. Then get a plastic compression T with the right diameters (filter line and refrig. line may be different sizes). Turn off water, cut the line between the filter and the faucet, install the T there. Reason for the compression T is that it fits OUTSIDE the lines. Flow is not fast (about a pencil width), and using a T that restricts that flow is inadvisable.

there is most likely a input valve that regulates water flow into the tank. Simpy turn it up. It's also possible the tube from the tank to the faucet is kinked or clogged. This tube is prone to failure

Probably not the valve. I had the same issue and the problem was the outlet tube was clogged with carbon. I would check that first.
