Have you checked the faucets to see if the screens in the spout are plugged? Any time you break the pipes rust and minerals can break off and plug the screens.
Yes, I have checked the screens, it appears to be something that broke loos into those two galvanized lines. Any way to identify and/or fix without replacing the entirety of the plmbing in the house?

What are spigots?
It's a ring that is fitted to the centre of your hub of a vehicle to decrease a bore size, normally used when aftermarket alloy wheels are fitted, or wheels are transferred from one make to another. E.g. - Lexus wheels on a Honda, Toyota Wheels on a Nissan, and so on. Spigots also aid the process of putting your wheel on centrally every time you take it off, so that you dont scrape the alloy with the thread from the hub.

Why would you have low water pressure at some but not all hot water faucets in a six year old house with an electic water heater?
*The further away your taps are (example: the bathroom) the less water pressure you have. If you have a lot of trees around your property I suggest getting "Rotor Rooter" in to clean out your pipes. Especially in an older home the pipes can have all sorts of odd things in them, and tree roots are one of the worst. Also have your water heater checked out on a yearly basis. My bet is on the tree roots. *If the utility valves are turned on all the way, then check the aerators. They usually get clogged up with debris, and affect the pressure/water flow. Shower heads are designed to use less water, so you will not have much pressure because of the built-in restrictor. The info about the aerators is a good answer. I am in the drinking water business and have answered a lot of calls for no water or low water perssure when the only thing wrong were clogged aerators. Often the pressure is good, but the low volume at one or more spigots will make you think it is a pressure issue. Waterman
How do Frost free house exterior water spigots work?
They are various lengths, usually 10-12 inches long which puts the shut off inside of the house where it is warm. After you shut off the faucet, the water left in the faucet drains out so it will not freeze. This is why you have to take the hose off in the winter or it will most likely go ahead and freeze.

Remove the brake calipur Remove the 6 bolts holding the hub Gently tape off the hub Gently prise out the 4 wheel drive locking device this also has two spigots to lock the wheel bearing nut. It is alloy and spigots prone to breaking. Tap off the bearing nut using a punch. Pull off hub. Fit new bearings and oil seal and replace as above.
