Where could one find out how to install a faucet in a kitchen sink?

One can find out how to install a faucet in a kitchen sink by going to the DIYNetwork website.

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.

Why doesn't the shower the furthest from the hot water heater never get more than warm and the shower closest to it gets nice and hot?

Your hot water line needs more insulation probably. It sounds like your hot water is cooling before reaching that faucet. It may be that the one faucet is not able to turn all the way to hot until you adjust the faucet (usually in the handle) of a 10 year old or newer faucet.

Why does only hot water come out of the bath shower with the cold turned on?

First make sure that the hot and cold supply lines (the plumbing) aren't backwards (hot should be on the left as you are facing the faucet) or that someone accidentally ran two hot lines. For the problem to be in the faucet itself you would have to have a single handle faucet. If this is the case the control valve is broken and should be replaced. Three handle Left= Hot Water Flow. Right= Cold Water Flow Center= Controls whether the water comes out the shower head or tub faucet. Two handle Left= Hot Water Flow Right= Cold Water Flow (Diverter Valve is elsewhere if it's a tub/shower) Single handle One handle controls both water pressure and temperature


If your current vanity has 2 taps and a water spout can you replace it with one with a mixer set up?

If the taps and the spout are not connected in one unit, the spacing on your sink is probably 8 inches center to center. The only faucet I have seen for a bathroom sink with that spacing is the two handle type. There may be a single handle available. A kitchen faucet may work if the holes in the sink are large enough. Kitchen faucets are 8 inch also. If yours is 4 inch, then it is no problem, they are common.


Which line is the hot water under a kitchen sink?

There may not be one. You may have to shut the water off where it comes into the house or at the water heater. If there is one under the sink, it should be fairly obvious. Follow the supply line from the faucet.
