If shut off the hot water valve then you take off your supply line from your hot water valve to your faucet and then turn your hot water valve on slowly (with of course a bucket or something to collect the water under it) and if you can see you have water pressure and flow then most likely the problem would be in your faucet on the hot side. If you have no pressure or flow when you turn the hot valve on then it could be debris plugging your hot water pipe or your hot water service valve (angle stop, straight stop) which older galvanized pipes are known to do so. To fix the problem you would need to find out where the problem is then either fix or replace the faucet or replace the angle/straight stop or try back flushing the hot water pipe and or replace the pipe with pex or copper pipe.

Why doe the water not come out of the sink facets but works everywhere else?

if you look under the sink, you will probably see a cutoff valve going up to the sink faucet. turn this on. if that does not fix it, then change you faucet fixture.


There is no water coming from your hot tap in the kitchen hot water works in the bathroom how can you fix this?

If there is a shut off valve under the sink, shut it off and take the line off going to the faucet. Turn the valve on slightly to see if there is water going through it. If there is, the problem has to be in the faucet. Either the washer in the hot water side has come off and is plugging the faucet, or if it is a single handle faucet, the cup is bad. Either one is easy enough to fix. Message me back if you need help fixing it.

How does the touch faucet work?

From the Delta page. "The faucet works using something called capacitance. This is the same technology that is used to make touch screens work. There is a low voltage electrical current that flows across the handle and spout of the faucet. As soon as this circuit is interrupted by skin contact water begins to flow."


Why is there no water coming out of sink faucet in bathroom but tub faucet works?

The shut off valve under the sink, the faucet itself, or most likely, the screen in the end of the spout is plugged. If neither hot or cold is coming out, it is kind of unlikely both shut off valves and both sides of the faucet would go bad at the same time. The screen being clogged would stop any water from coming out. The screen just unscrews out of the spout.

What would cause the water flow in a kitchen faucet not to come on and then come on all of a sudden and sometimes the sprayer works and sometimes it does not?

The easy answer is sediment like lime or build-up. Unscrew the round part at the end of the faucet where the water comes out. There is a screen located in it. Check to make sure the screen is not blacked. If it is you can pick up a replacement from any home improvement store. As for the sprayer there is also a screen inside of the sprayer. You can take it apart and clean it or just buy a replacement for about $10. CLR is a cleaner that I have used to clean and remove sediment.

Where to find part for a 50 year old tub faucet. Hot water handle just spins and now needs wrench to open and close?

The faucet still works but the handle is stripped? You can get new handles that will work on any faucet. They have a square adapter that attaches to the faucet stem with a set screw and then the new handle fits on the square adapter. Also deal with a plumber supply store rather than "Big Box" store, they will have some odd parts, not available from the big chains.
