KITCHEN FAUCET HAS NO WATER PRESSURE HOT SIDE - Jak na to + styl
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. czcams.com/users/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Your faucet?
Forcing the water out the clogged line worked for us! Thank you for this video. It saved the cost and hassle of a new faucet.
Glad it helped!
This is why I do my own plumbing at 86 yrs old!
Yeah, that was painful to watch.
Painful to read lol
dont recall
FIXED. Happened to me too. Removed the hot side hose From the supply pipe (which was the side that was restricted). Put the end into a bucket. Turned on the cold side and wiggled the handle up and down and back and forth til it blasted a chunk of crap out the hose. Reconnected and all is good! Didn’t have to replace a $200 faucet
Got er done. I could not get this set...swapped er out.
Thanks so much!!! I did as you described and got same results -- something like black tape came out. Hot side works again!!!!!!
Yep hot side off then bucket the line, then run cold back thru the manifold switching back and forth between hot and cold usually clears things up.
I love you guys, worked, saved me a bunch of money, comments section ftw
I was ready to see what I needed to do to my faucet and then realized this video was no help BUT the ending made it worth the 15minutes! 😂
The plumb life has no clock Dave.
I put a clip (like for a bag of chips) on the black water line that connects to the faucet head to keep it from retracting back in. That happened once and it took me over an hour to feed it back out from under the sink and then grab it so I could reconnect it.
"And there goes another unsatisfied customer and I'm pissed off!" Lol I think we've all been there.
lol
You can say that again my Brother.Years ago I had changed out an old faucet.I changed the old speedys and was given plastic speedys,so what happens?After I got the Gerber faucet installed I open the shutoff valves under the kitchen sink and the cold water isn't flowing.I take the speedys out and check them for any clogs and nothing.So I decided to leave the cold water shutoff valve partially open and then I removed the cold water faucet handle and spindle.I stuck a piece of stiff wire with the sheath still on the wire mind you down the speedy and all of a sudden I get a snoot full of water.It turned out that the speedy had a piece of plastic from the manufacturing process that would block the water when ever the shutoff valve was opened so I had to use a drill bit to ream out the inside diameter of the plastic speedy and that solved the problem.That happened because the landlord was a big time skin-flint and refused to buy the braided faucet water connectors like I had suggested.
Hats off to plumbers. They have more patience than I can understand. All I've known have been mild mannered, laid back guys. I despise plumbing. Usually when something needs fixing connections to it are awkward, difficult to see, and even painful to get reach. Over the years, I've done several fixes. Some without calling a professional, even though I should have more often, especially those jobs so difficult I've felt like just setting the house on fire instead. I'm here because I'm trying to figure out how to solve a no pressure problem on the hot side of my kitchen
Pfister faucet. Good video because I haven't tried the back flush thing. Thanks. I'll try that, then get a professional if I can't smoke it out.
lol..roger that....may need a rain coat.
Thank you so much for your great video! I had the exactly same issue. I tried a couple of things by myself but did not work. Then I saw your video and followed the same exact way to use cold water pressure to push out debri in a hot water line. It worked great! Now my faucet is like new. I was thinking to buy new like your customer. You saved me $200!
You are a great plumber!
Glad it helped!
I did the same thing and it worked. Thank you so much for posting this video Mr.Barron!!!
After watching another CZcams channel regarding a slow flow on the hot water side, I was able to solve my problem. The other channel showed how to clean the flow resrictor first which is the white plastic part connected to the black spigot hose. I found some debris but still had a weak hot side. The plumber in this video did not have the patience to find the correct Allen wrench (3/32“) to remove the the handle. After removing the handle and cartridge, I found a large piece of rust wedged in the hot water tube. I pushed it in and back flushing produced two chunks of rust. Faucet works like the same day I bought it. Like the plumber said at the beginning of the video, it's Friday and he doesn't normally do faucet repairs. Unfortunately customer had to pay for a new faucet. BTW, the faucet is a Kohler!
3/32" may be the right size for some faucets, but others have metric size Allen wrenches now. Mine uses a 4mm Allen wrench, almost twice the size as the 3/32.
Saved me a plumber's call, thank you so much!
Ha. No problem
Tried blowing water through with my mouth haha. Definitely not the kind of pressure I needed to blow out the sediment in the hot line. This video worked like a charm! Blasted out a thimble's worth of rust from the hot line and now pressure is back to normal. Thanks for the great idea!
Bam! Thanks for tuning in.
thanks. My new kitchen faucet was not working on the hot side, would work then jam stopped. I did what you said in the video and it work! Thanks so much.
Glad it helped
Thanks for this video! Had pieces of the old hot water shut off valve gasket clogging the line. Worked to blow out the line with cold water pressure.
get er done daddio
Dealing with this issue now on a make ready Apartment, thanks for the video it helps a lot.
Get er done
You are my new plumbing husband! I have the Same faucet -totally fixed watching you! Thank you!
Thanks to your video I finally got under the sink to tackle the weak hot water flow. Turns out the shut off valve had disintegrated and stuffed all its rubber seal chunks up into the faucet filter. Replaced valve, cleaned out filter, done and done. Cheers.
Glad it helped
My cheap faucet like that one doing the same thing! Guess I’ll go get a new GOOD one! Thanks for the video!
You bet! supply house is best grade.
Thank you sir, for providing this video on repairs. You are a saint and very much appreciated. My sink is all better now.👍
Glad to help
Sir I just had to use your trick to back flush the hot water hose and sure shit a chunk of rubber came out now the hot water runs. Thanks so much for making this vid and telling us the knowledge you know, to save money I'm a good diy'r so vids like this really help :) good day....
Nice....getting it done.
Hold this for me 06:38(ish), learned that lesson hard way. We had so much fun getting it back out🤣
Do like the style, functions/features, & look of the new faucets on market today; but.....when comes to repair/fix one, they don’t make it easy. With proprietary parts/fittings, electronics/batteries in them, etc....sometimes the best way to fix/repair a faucet, REPLACE it with a NEW ONE😉😂.
Long time customer asked me to fix a kitchen faucet they loved & said sure. The mixer valve needed replaced, & the adjustable flow aerator needed replaced. Wasn’t easy, since aerator used a 3.5mm internal thread(why!?) & mixer valve was at base of spout/faucet that was suppose to unscrew with “special wrench” that came with faucet(& naturally customer didn’t have🤣)..... So, if parts are cheap & repair is “easy”, I say go for it; otherwise, just replace it with new one.
As always Chuck, & AB/CB....watching your plumbing vids are always interesting, fun, & NEVER boring! Great job guys👍🏻
Have a good one✌🏻
TIP: most ppl may not know that you save the box to faucet. If it breaks/malfunctions/etc... call the company number on the box & talk to them, they usually will send you a brand new replacement(or similar if item was discontinued) free of charge. Might have to pay for shipping(might), but need the info from box(or sometimes manual).....& I’ve done this for customers with a faucet being 5.5 yrs old. Company helped out by sending new one even with warranty stating was for 1 year..... just a tip for ppl. Call the customer service number & talk to them.....they will try to help you & make things right as best they can.
good tips and thank you..the faucet has been replaced.
Hi again CB1 That's a good point. When in doubt change it out. Have a great day.
I like that.
I have same issue only Now it’s hot and cold , it started as just hot side. I gotta give plumbers credit working under the sink is brutal.
ha. thanks
I tie a rag around the hose so you don’t have have someone constantly holding it so it doesn’t retract down through faucet. Just a tip if it helps anyone.
Thank you it fixed my problem. 🙏🏼
GREAT VIDEO. I thought for sure you were going to find a problem that was easy to fix but NEW FAUCET. I was like telling my dad that This guy on CZcams is going to tell us how to fix ours. NEW NEW NEW. LOL
Ya time is just too valuable. New one solved issue. Done!
Thanks for your reply. Keep up the good work.
thank you.
Chuck.......not only are you a great plumber but you are a awesome dad also. Those 2 young men are lucky to have ya.
Tim, appreciate that.
i remember a time" back in the day", before all this pc crap, cell phones and so forth, when 10 cents bought a cup of coffee or a phone call...we thought they would never end, we was young and sure to have our way...have a very well earn Friday yall, no radiation on weekends so less side effects, God bless you and your dream...sUrFs Up get that prostate check, early detection is key
Thank you and I with ya on the old ways.
Chuck you should keep all different kind of aerator keys in your truck . If that didn’t work then I would change the shut off valves . Calcium builds in there and slows down water pressure. If that didn’t work then change the faucet and supply lines .
faucet....done deal.
Lol not only do I have the same problem with the pressure but I also have the same backsplash 😂😂
new faucet. we changed it.
Had the same problem, thought it was the recently purchased delta foundation hot side of valve or line feed. After purchasing another unit, discovered that I had the same problem? Recalling that I had just changed out a bad shutoff valve in the basement on the hot line from the water heater; I decided to check the new flex line under the sink. Found major blockage, debris from the old valve that was replaced earlier. Unfortunately, I did three installs and extractions of the unit.
maybe a bad batch. i replaced faucet also.
Thanks brother!!
Thank you.
Out hot water pressure was very low for months and saw this video and took my faucet spray head off like you did but didn't hold onto the hose and of course the hose went into the faucet housing 🙄. So when I was under the sink pushing the faucet hose back up I saw the hot water turn off valve and thought, hmm maybe it's just not turned all the way on duh! Now the pressure is normal.
SCORE!!!!!
This guy still has a land line. 😂😂 Love it!
Just installed new sink, lines and faucet install went well.
Great pressure all the way until i start to get to the hot side. Full hot side is barely a trickle
oh boy. what was verdict?
@@ChuckBarron ok took hot water line off forced some air up there..turned water back on some debris from install came out. Good as new!
Same thing happen to me after replacing old one for new one...No much water was coming out ..😾 what could be wrong 😿
@@elpilonvideo debris in the lines most likely
Dude, way to dad! "Yup, you're staying home tonight, no clubbing."
😁
I'm watching because I just put in a water softener in my home. Got the lines purged of sediment and air. All fixtures in the house run hot and cold fine now except the kitchen sink. It's having issues with the hot now.
I'm going to try the back flush. I hope it isn't the supply valve, since I can handle hot on the faucet being down for a bit, but I need the hot water for the dishwasher.
Here's hoping back flush solves the problem!
2 words: Check Valve.
Shut off hot side. Detach hot side faucet line, put a bucket under it and turn water back on. You'll see a bunch of crap come out of the water and collect in the bucket. Clean out check valve. Attach faucet line back up.
Problem solved.
If you don't flush the line, you might have to keep cleaning out check valve until all the crud in the line gets flushed out.
DO NOT remove the check valve filter. This gizmo filters out debris that would otherwise clog up the inner faucet that is alot harder to fix.
your skilled.
Am i the only one constantly staring at the non-GFCI 110v outlet in a potentialy wet location?😂
zap!
Great video chuck! and good lad get that seat belt on!
yes. safety for sure. thanks josh
Loved: Your wealth of knowledge, nice sense of humor, Angelo helping you
Suggestion for Improvement:
More narration, especially what your thinking as you' re working;
"Well the most likely problem with a slow faucet is ..... so we're going to do this first."
"OK, that didn't solve the problem so let's try this...."
"Angelo, what do you think we should do?"
Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video!
Noted! appreciate your tips
My problem was that little tiny white plastic piece inside the faucet head, debris inside that. Your video really helped.
Awesome!
I've had many of those calls in my career Chuck....they can be very aggravating!
oh just closed that out today...New Moen Installed. Happy Wife and Happy Life for her hubby.
I had slow hot water and thought I needed a faucet too. After checking every possible failure before that I found the problem. The gasket in the shutoff valve disintegrated and was blocking the flow. I replaced the guts of the valve with a new stem and gasket. Now I have full pressure hot water.
That's exactly what I did after taking apart my cartridge and finding bits of black rubber. That was before I installed a new high arc faucet 10 years ago. Now I seem to have a similar problem, and I'm waiting for a reply from the tech guy as to how to remove the cartridge.
Hey CB , ANOTHER TECH TIP you need a small pocket dentist type mirror to see some of those handle screws, some of the manufactures went to a TORX head screw, I know moen did on some of their faucets.
John, thanks and I did manage to get my eye ball in that line to see it was an Allen and off line to boot. That’s when I threw in the towel. I threw a flag for roughing the plumber!
We did a rebuild on some water damage. When we put the faucet back in, (which looks exactly like this one), it had the same very low pressure. The homeowner claimed it had been perfect before the demo (of course). I checked everything, and came to the same conclusion: The faucet is garbage. They were just angling for a new faucet.
@@FRANKI18136 Good to know for next time!
new faucet installed.
a real knuckle buster. beyond repair.
good stuff thank you.
i have that same Kohler faucet and same issue. The hot side was very slow. I had to get a new one too.
good move..replace it.
Using a pipe-cleaner fixed this faucet for me! Plus the hot/cold flushing in this video. Hope this helps others!
Wait I have no water pressure for hot water why is that
And what does that too
nice. this faucet was replaced. could not clear blockage.
clean aerator.
I found that the screen in my supply line was full or crud. Once I cleaned it up the water ran freely
good job.
when you get them like that, probably a piece of junk stuck in the supply tube or at valve body inside, some of them have flow restrictors at the supply line ends to keep people from tampering with the aerator for more "flow" :)
unhook supply lines and back blow with compressor through pull out hose. full hot, then full cold.
**if that one has restrictors, they're probably at the "ends" they used the double male adapters to add supply line lenght
a real knuckle buster under that sink with extra deep sink.
If this a Kohler take off the quick connect that attaches to the hose underneath. The check valve will be blocked likely. Check the cartridge.
I did do that off camera. ended up replacing it and worked fine.
I have the same issue on our kitchen sink. Odd thing is that there are no shut-off valves under the sink. Faucet is under 1 year old. Took faucet off and looked it over, checked for dirt/debris in screens. Didn't find anything obvious. This video didn't help...but it was entertaining.
entertaining like home depot....lol. Replace it.
😂🤙😂🤙.... I LOVE PLIMBING!!!!!
and I stabbed my finger with screw driver for fun......love it.
they needed a new moen cartridge (1255) installed / replaced. moen sends them for free. also, could’ve taken apart shower head to clean part. start by removing black sprayer button (pop off and slide). i’ve done the research and plan to repair mine in the morning
How you make out?
Looks like im going to have to replace my Moen also... water flows great once the head comes off but couldnt get head to work with good pressure anymore ..
Couldnt see a clog in the back of spray head or front when i took the front cap off
LMAO. I get that complaint all the time.
Correct procedure:
1. Measure volume (gpm) in a 1 gallon pail.
2. Change/remove/drill - aerator filter at faucet end.
3. Re-measure.
still no good?
4. Change stop valve(s).
still no good?
5. Change faucet and supply line(s)
All of that can be done in less than 30 minutes; IF you are prepared.
By-the-way, those types of pull-down sprayer faucets are worthless.
thanks Rene
I agredd
You Guys are funny I love it .
We enjoy our work for sure.
Hi CB1 and AB I think I can help you. I think the problem is in where the wand hose connects under the sink to the valve. There is usually is some kind of quick connector that connects
the two together. Sometimes in that fitting is a check valve that will have to be cleaned. I have ran into this problem more than once and with more than one brand. I hope this helps you
Good luck!!
Christopher Aaroen Yes there is a check valve there but if that was the problem both hot and cold would have low pressure.
If you have good cold than the trouble is in the hot side of the cartrage or the supply going to it.
I could not disconnect due to deep sink. the guy must of put faucet on sink before setting. impossible to take apart.I could not even get the handle off. Bout to loose my mind . I ended up replacing with a moen that is so sweet to work on. thanks gents
Brewmule what happens if it starts as hot with low pressure and then turns into both have low pressure.
Had to remove the top part on mine today after putting new hot water tank, after removing, it flowed right thru
Nice job.
Good day evening sir, I’m a health caregiver but I can fix simple broken things in our house. What I cannot fix, is our main bedroom shower, hot and cold flow is really weak. Took out the water restrictor of that showerhead. The two other bathroom water flow is strong and no issue at all. I just change the moen cartridge 1222 and is still the flow is weak. Could not find any valve that I can increase that flow of that water shower. Thank you sir and appreciate any insight!
" Hit the club " lol
Low hot pressure.. After trying everything in your video, plus replacing hot supply valve and both supply lines (flex from valves), plus taking out the cartridge and taking the aerator head apart then flushing both, I still had low pressure only on the hot side. Backflushing the supply line had no effect, but... Backflushing the short lines built into the faucet (cold valve on, hot off, handle in middle position then back and forth to hot and cold, draining into a bucket) resulted in blue flakes. Reassembled. Hot pressure now normal.
That's the trick.......everyone.......this guy's knows what time it is. Try it before you buy a new faucet.
What a cool team
appreciate that. we trying
ThNk you , you saved me some cash I do not have.
sweet!
They must get paid by their time 😂😂😂
I have this same problem. Maybe I’ll just replace it see if that’ works. Tried everything else.
I replaced this one. Have not looked back. all is good.
The shut-off was the problem... looks like a gate or boiler drain style valve. They tend to clog , especially on the hot side!
Got it done for sure
13:45 when you bring your son with you, lol.
afraid to look....lol....but i am.
Got me....lol
Blue dirt in the aerator is caused by the "dip tube" in the hot water tank deteriorating. Maybe.
yes sir.
We're having a freeze here in Texas. In only two sinks, no water comes from the hot side, cold side is fine. Any suggestions? The rest of the sinks and water sources have no issues
Exactly the same problem I am having. I enjoyed your video! I cannot see the Allen’s screw. What I’m asking is if the water is flowing through the lines get a new faucet? Thank you
how ya make out??
same problem, same outcome today
Quick cartridge change man. Never give up. Moen Lifetime warranty quick call and they'll send it out. I call moen and delta job security brands.
I do too. They are awesome.
CB-1 and AB-1 the OG I hope you all are having a great day. Sometimes you win some sometimes you lose some. It sounds like you have a lot of cholesterol in that faucet. Replace replace replace. Pease Brothers
done! running like a champ now.
Stuff looks good in the showroom..
sounds like home depot showroom from what I gather.
Saludos plumber de argentina
Indeed....Argentina In Da House!
My Moen faucet has been like that since it was put in 9 months ago.
It would help me if you explained what you are doing as you go. I can’t remember things just by watching if i don’t understand just what’s being done.. so did you so something that made the dirt show up in the head when you didn’t see anything the first time you took it apart?
Roger that. No the faucet was clogged completely with debris. I ended up replacing fixture.
Just goes to show, worth spending extra on quality facet.
no doubt.
@@ChuckBarron hello Mr Barron I have a question I have no water pressure for hot water but only for cold water why is that
The water heater is prolly old or needs a new anode rod. Its most likely gone and nothing catching all the mineral deposit build up so it passing thru and getting clogged in faucet cartrige or small internal piping within faucet. It happens to us all cb dont sweat it.
a few busted knuckles and they are back in business with a new faucet.
in the shower head there are several round screens and a plastic disk the disk has small holes in it that gets clogged
If you have pressure with the cold , it’s not in the end piece…..
This was like watching Dumb and Dumber 3.
that makes 4 of us. lol
It’s best to flush out the valve before u attach new faucet.
so true
"If it don't flow", it's time to go. You made a better effort than I would of
That's a good moto
I like it,.
awesome one.
Blame the problem on the people who are paid per installation and do it quickly without flushing the lines before and after connecting the faucets.
amen.
😂😂😂 that's still a win!
Dammit man! I got the same problem and I watched this 15 minutes video and...arrrrgh!
This is why I tell my wife we don't need a plumber
you do but not for today.
so I watched a 15 minute video of a guy finding out that he can't fix the faucet?
Hi I watched your video and tried to fix it myself. I still have no hot water pressure. Any other suggestions? Thanks
how you make out? Im late....sorry
Staying in a apartment. Low pressure throughout the faucet of the kitchen, bathroom, and shower. Any advice on what it could be.
They say that the pipes need to warm up from the cold weather. Just looking for other perspectives.
a warm up? thats some BS! Need some TLC! a long term problem? or sudden? Long term is clogged lines like an artery. Short term is maybe someone working on system and did not open valve all the way or may opened too fast and caused a clog. good luck!
Flight Legit tbh it’s probably calcium, we worked on a shower that would only shoot out cold water. He took it apart and unclogged the hot water line, it was clogged with calcium.
@@endingworlds no, It was just like Chuck Baron said. Someone was working on the lines and broke part of where you open up the valve. It was not getting enough pressure because of that.
I have same prob..same faucet..2 months old...please tell me theres a fix other than replacement ..again..
i replaced it!
Could be the check valve underneath
Chuck...I wish you were my best friend.
oh sami. lol
😆
blue stuff in the faucet, yep, that'd be blue pipe-dope lol.. but where did it come from?
ended up being deposits of some sort..faucet was loaded and had to ruin it to get it out. Real shame.
Dont need a new faucet, just gotta mess with the check valve, unfortunately...is what I found out. Not sure why you didn't but hey you're job not mine
that joker was all clogged up...replaced it. all good in the hood now.
Pretty informative! Very entertaining!!! Thank you so much for posting this on CZcams😃
Glad you enjoyed it! Plumb on Jeff
Can messing with the water heater churn up sediment, which gets caught in the screens?
Yes Sir. Always turn on valves very very slow. Walls of pipes can be disturbed by sudden pressure too.
@@ChuckBarron On a Kohler long neck kitchen faucet, where is the blockage on the hot water line most likely to be? I"m getting very low pressure only on the hot water line. FYI, the tub has good hot water pressure, so I think it's in the faucet somewhere.
@@JayZoop I have the same problem. Bought a brand new Kohler Ealing Pro and immediately the hot water side stopped flowing, except for a little drizzle. Probably need to replace the cartridge. I have a call into Kohler (really lousy customer service, BTW) and I'll see what they say. Good luck.
Sounds like a cartridge issue
faucet was replaced...a crazy situation.
All of that couse of low fauset type installed if they ve installed good quality they wont face that proplem alot
I agree. Got er done Z.
