Sir I have disassembled and reassembled my new faucet twenty times called home depot ten called the manufacturer twenty and finally took it out. I had lost all confidence in myself to trouble shoot plumbing problems and had decided I was probably no longer even a carpenter or capable of doing small home electrical projects or fixes. I even made the misses install the new faucet because she was so confident it was my issue. Well it worked great for a couple days so I did have to eat my pride for a bit but then i started to have some company in the confusion canoe. After your video I went straight to the kitchen, she happened to be standing there and I took the faucet sprayer head off, she looked at me like now what the hell are you going to do. I pu my thumb over the hose turned the water on and some air came by before the water, then I turned it off over to other side and on again and off. Put the head back on and walla pressure is back. You have done more than help with my faucet, thank you for taking the time to help us learn here on youtube.

Another thing to check; check the aerator. I thought I had an airlock because after changing one ball cartridge spring O-rings on my dual sinks in the master bath the faucet went to almost no-flow, then shortly after the other sink did the same thing. I naturally thought it was an airlock and preceded to try various methods to bleed the lines. When this didn't work I was considering a plumber when I decided to work back from the faucet until I could go no further. Lo and behold after I took the aerators off I had free flowing faucets. Replaced the cartridges and problem fixed. Note I had turned the water off to the house to do the original fix.

I have a tank heated by a gas boiler and have found issues with the kitchen hot water flow every time we return from taking a holiday of a week or two. I always thought this was an air lock, as it responded to forcing mains cold water up the hot pipe. However, it’s now happened again and will not respond to the usual cold water force trick. Furthermore, the flow on the bathroom taps is also way slower than usual(a good ten minutes to get enough hot water in the bottom of the bath to make it useable!). Do you think this is the same issue of furring causing my problem? Any advice gratefully received and appreciated,

There should be a non return valve fitted to the cold and hot feeds to the taps. Pressure from the hot is stronger than the cold main so slowing down the flow. You will never get air in the cold feed as it is mains.

I have an air lock and mixture taps my hot water part is fine but my cold water part had hardly any pressure can I do the exact same with this? Would I turn the cold water on instead of the hot water as this is just the cold water.

Yes try it. If it is mains though then just make sure your stopcock is fully on. Also that the actual tap has at least a couple of turns.

I've tried the old hand over the cold tap trick and it won't work on the kitchen sink as it's like the picture you drew

Would this work for a newly fitted tap which drips a bit of water after it has been turned off - I mean could that be an air-lock problem? Also, how do I know if i have a non-return valve?
@dereton338 жыл бұрын
Yes it should work, check the pipework that leads up to the sink tap it would be fitted there if you have a non return valve.

OK, but what would I be looking for - what does it look like?
@dereton338 жыл бұрын
A small brass fitting about 2 inches long.

dereton33 Yes, it has two of these fitted :(. Anyway I can get rid of the air-lock some other way? Can't believe the plumber left it like this and he also mucked up my power-shower after he turned the water off - not happy.

hey I have the same tap as shown at 4.45 and did exactly as you said. however it only seems to be temporary. any advice or should I just try it for longer?
@dereton339 жыл бұрын
If you keep getting an airlock then your roof tank ballcock is blocked and slow filling, either clean it out or just renew it.

I have this Tap too and unable to clear with the covering trick. It will run for maybe ten seconds then stop. Did you eventually get yours working?
