Most, but not all of Kingston Brass shower head units come with a water flow restrictor.
If your particular model number does have a water flow restrictor then it should be removable.
These flow restrictors can be found in the pipe thread area of a showerhead and aerator.
While it is easily accessible, we strongly advise against removing the part.
The restrictor is a crucial integral part to operate smoothly and efficiently.
For water conservation purposes, you will need to check to make sure you meet the plumbing codes, as they require faucets to have certain maximum flow rates.
If you wish to remove the flow restrictor please follow these 4 steps:
- Plug the sink with a paper towel or small hand towel. This is the best way to ensure little pieces that suddenly get loose won’t make their way down the drain.
- Unscrew the aerator from the end of the faucet. This can usually be done by hand, but you may need the help of a small wrench if it is very tight. You can use a cloth, or rubber band, between the faucet and the wrench to avoid scratching the faucet.
- Identify and remove the flow restrictor. It should be just inside the aerator and can be easily removed either by hand or with the help of a small screwdriver.
- Reinstall the aerator.
