bathroom faucet has no hot water flow part 1 of 2

[@bennydojo]

This lady was a time traveler from 2020 - Coughing and toilet paper hoarding was a dead giveaway.

[@rj.parker]

One of the things I like about Steve's videos is how real he is when going through the troubleshooting process. For example he did not cut out the part about closing the hot supply and then testing the mixing valve and the temporary wrong conclusion. Plus he stays cool and calm as he works through the issues.

[@seamasadkins]

Thanks so much for the tip on installing a compression shutoff valve. It installed two under my bathroom sink today, and using the pipe dope worked like a charm!

[@TheSeancassady]

at 6:45 when you are disconnecting the HOT supply, could you have run that line into a bucket to compare the flow to that of the cold side? Could that have been a way to determine if the problem was the supply or if problem was in the hot side of faucet?

[@johnm.4655]

15:39 - The mixing/tempering valve! I have a similar issue in my apartment. The hot/cold in the kitchen runs with good pressure, but in the bathroom, the hot water pressure is about 50% less that it was when I moved in. I wonder if my Landlord installed a "mixing valve" in the basement on my water heater? There is also a leak from the bathtub spout - the water leaking out is hot. Steven: Any ideas what might be causing the hot water leak in the bathtub spot, along with the low flow pressure in bathtub/shower spout and bath sink hot water spout?

"Well this is the bathroom faucet" -Classic!! Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Glad the snow is melting.

That's too funny

[@GorgonnogroG]

shes a cougher mama she a cougher !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leebobb8204]

Sounds like the corona rona

[@sittingindetroit9204]

Mine was blocked on the hot side. First, make sure you have buckets below. I disconnected the supply line to the hot, but my hand over the outflow of the faucet and turned on the cold. It blew all the crab from the hot side of the faucet out and it now flow fine.

[@AStanton1966]

She was coughing like Let's Go Brandon.

[@edswider9309]

Steve is a real plumber

[@macmcchesney]

I love your choice of tools!

[@ldiazmdiaz]

Couldn't you swap the hot and cold lines to check the faucet internal lines.

[@temptek2377]

I would of tried that first before taking apart the faucet...

[@freddegler6203]

[@signupisannoying]

Thanks for sharing the better idea :) Thumbs up!

[@SF_Curious]

Funny how the costumer always want to see what’s going on behind the plumber

[@edswider9309]

Steve the supply valve is crushed up

[@Fireship1]

I've seen the washer in those stops get brittle on the hot side and crumble. Particles of washer then clog the supply line and the faucet cartridge. Another funny comment with that lady saying her husband has a phobia of running out of toilet paper. I think most of us have a phobia of that. Especially in a strange place!

[@theservant88]

[@christianbernoe4590]

hey steve,you have any dishwasher install videos. I could have made one today , oh boy did I ever have fun. not. Thank you for all your work on your videos. very nice of you to walk us through your work.

[@justinnicolas2347]

Hey Steve were you talking about simon supply from Pawtucket RI? If so I'm from Attleboro and I'm very close to that.

[@b.c8437]

Love you combernation of tools. Both mechanical, electrical and plumbing. Anything to get the job done.

[@zensterful]

Hey Steve, why disassemble a fairly new faucet to check for flow? I would check supply lines first and then move up or down.

[@MookieMan1]

Zenmaister11 S if you watched his videos over time, the well water they deal with clogs faucet cartridges daily.

[@zensterful]

Mookie Man I understand that, my point from an efficient approach is why not tackle the less evasive areas. When you start at the supply, it gives you direction which way to go about finding the restriction.

[@abbtech]

I was thinking the same thing at 6:36. I was saying to the screen, open the valve and test flow. But everyone has their steps and in time skip the least likely items even if they are simple. Great video steve.

[@markqualec]

Zenmaister11 S My mom has this same problem I replaced the faucet and lines Hot water is fine throughout the rest of the house. I think it maybe her elbow thats on that hot water supply, i might just have to replace it with a shut off valve

[@TravisWheelihan]

Ok so only thing that's got me lost is he had low pressure in two sinks at first. Then after turning the heater water off and on again he only had the one sink having trouble. So what changed about the kitchen faucet that it started having pressure again.

[@bradstevenson1750]

did you do a video at this house doing a pressure reducer valve looks familar

[@chuckscott9360]

Hi Steven. Like your videos. One thing I've done is used the cold water to backflush the faucet and the water supply line. That would help me figure out if it was the faucet, supply line or the water pipe coming up to it. Then like you did check water flow from the shut off. I would try a new supply line when I do that. With the kitchen sink losing pressure I'm thinking its the mixing valve. Can't want to see what it is.

[@joelsadowsky3436]

Hey Steve, great video. Are you going to the Las Vegas air conditioning & heating expo?

[@crgregful]

going for a new look Steve with the hoodie over your head? happy new year

[@mylookjohn]

This is great video; mystery with a cliffhanger. Look forward to the next show. Rock On Master !!

[@ayoteee]

Thank you for your video it help me troubleshoot. Much appreciated

[@tpir3844]

LOL. You always do a great job and you "crack me up"

[@isidroenriquez4845]

I think that the problem is caused by the overtied the suply nut at the anglestop. if you tied too much it'l close the conduct in the suply!

[@TJ-pk3wl]

Good video Steve

[@SkylaneGuy]

The suspense is killing me!

[@bravuconmaury9502]

Es de la familia Gambino o Soprano?

[@Sixta16]

looking forward for part 2 Steve!

[@gencii.c]

Cant wait for part two, instead of taking the sink apart I thought you'd pull the lines and check for flow first before anything, that would of been a quicky

[@TheSeancassady]

at 6:45 when you are disconnecting the HOT supply, could you have run that line into a bucket to compare the flow to that of the cold side? Could that have been a way to determine if the problem was the supply or if problem was in the hot side of faucet?

[@Quietapplause87]

Christ get this woman a f***ing cough drop.

[@alien911]

Oleeeee American standard

[@brianmanager8071]

this is my favorite video of Steven because I can see his glorious face. " why do you wear gloves" ? PLEASE CONTINUE SAYING " WHY DO YOU WEAR GLOVES?

[@ghostghost8136]

Replace the angle stop

[@waltradcliffe4482]

It looks like one of your tags on the line under the sink!

[@Whisgers]

The T.M.V will be block on the hot side dismantle and clean out filter.

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

i'd delete that mixing valve, even if it worked. i hate them. to me, they serve no purpose. water's too hot? mix in some cold water yourself! and teach your kids how to work a faucet so they don't get scalded! i usually see the ones that attach to the supply lines underneath sinks. good video Steve.

[@davidmoulton5422]

Mixing valve is code the national plumbing code 2010 only if you can't throttle it down with the pressure balance valve in the shower not required for the lav

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

the inspectors i've been dealing with on new construction lately, just want the tank water no hotter than 120F. good to go.

[@davidmoulton5422]

There is the potential for Legionnaires disease at the temperature

Steve, interesting problem with the hot water, looking forward to part 2.

[@tankkong4749]

you got a gangsta voice meh friends

[@fongcha4933]

My house is only 3 years old and I've replaced all the bathroom tub faucet cartridge at least 4 times. It's getting quite expensive and nobody has been able to figure out what is causing the issue. Some thinks it's the water softener, some think it's a faulty faucet, some think its the water heater.. idk... :( Problem: Either scalding water or cold and sometimes they work fine. Single handle faucet made by moen.

[@FloridaHustle239]

Valve maybe bad,those Moen shower valves have a white anti scolding breaker cap

[@waterheaterservices]

Gooood lesson, gooood plumber's helper dog, gooood sounding diesel van, too.

[@bradhvac5866]

That's a tuffy. It can't be the mixing valve. The rest of the house works. Unless that mixing valve only feeds that bathroom. It has to be before the tub and the sink.

[@55098]

or the tanks dip tube needs to be pulled

[@jasonmushersee]

at work there's a backflow preventer on the main that does this every 2 months. manganese mud.

[@rudygonzales9766]

why do you sound like Carl from aqua teen?

[@jbitakis]

Why put a pressure flow controller in? I want my water flow strong! I'll pay the extra $$ for the extra water I use.

[@sirjohnahayfalcon]

[@clbuckshot]

[@RobHVAC]

[@davidmoulton5422]

I enjoy watching your videos keep up the great work we are professionals to hell with the handyman and home inspectors damn them

[@patrickmac8776]

[@legendofzoloxolo1425]

This video is too long get to the point

[@katritter6482]

My husband is the same way we have enough paper towels and tp for a year

[@ericzeigler8669]

My mom grew up in the post Depression years. She had a large freezer filled with meats and other foods all the time. She told me she could sleep better knowing that she had food in case of an emergency. Hurricane Hugo comes through, knocking out the power utilities for weeks. Most of her frozen food went bad without electricity. It's good to prepare. Just think it all the way through.

[@cecilb3216]

Man these or the days of covid 19. And she doing all that coughing. I almost turned the video off

[@macster1457]

[@bettingru]

Great video, but whats with Cholesterol in your pipes? Really? Some of us call it lime-scale or calcium deposits or buildup. If this person had cholesterol problems they should have called a surgeon not a plumber! LOL. Still, keep up informed and happy.
