    Thanks for the tips Brian! The install that you completed is still going strong! No kinks here!

    Actually, that turned out to be an excellent video; it taught us not to assume our supply line in still 100% flowing. In my case i wondered why the cold tap was slow: when the furnace man put in the air-return duct he "hid" my poly-B valve, and must have rubbed it to 45 degrees (half off) ! Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing! My rental kitchen faucet has no hot water; bathroom is fine, so I know it's not the water heater. Looking forward to trouble shooting [not...] This is helpful!

    Definitely love the headscratchin trouble shooting style video brother cause that’s where it has to start and is the hardest part most of the time

      I think so as well. I really wanted to take it apart, but got lucky. Thank you Steve!

    Another step that could be done while the line is disconnected, back flush it. Put a container under the line with low pressure, remove the aerator and cap it, open that faucet control, then open the faucet control that is working properly. Anything that was between the supply line and faucet should be washed out. For capping the faucet some people use a coin, I have an extra aerator that I put a small piece of plastic I trimmed to size and a rubber gasket.

      I need to look into an adapter to cap the aerator. Thank you.

    My master bathroom sink faucet has had low water flow from the cold side since I moved in. When I tested the supply line a bunch of dirty water gushed out. I had to clean the faucet's screen too. I think my city has turned off the neighborhood water several times, even before I moved in, to build out the water lines for 2 adjacent developments being built. I think when the water was turned on, the pressure removed gunk from the pipes. Now I just need to determine how to reduce the amount of time it takes for hot water to reach the kitchen and hallway bathroom sinks.

      I was just dealing with some of that from a bad main water line install to a friends house.

    Brian, I recently had problems with the Kohler back braided supply lines, ... brand new, I used extreme care while trying creating a loop, ... I just think the black supply lines are poor quality

    Great video Brian, I always love it when you have plenty of room like that to use wrenches 😂. I wonder what was blocking the flow it didn’t look like you got any trash out?

    • @ThatFixItGuy
      @ThatFixItGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know Britt. I did not really feel any resistance when poking either. I'm just glad it works for them.

    Is that a Pfistter faucet? If so, it has a lifetime replacement warranty. Maybe Kohler has similar warranty.

    Around 4:15 it appears the black line is kinked.

    • @ThatFixItGuy
      @ThatFixItGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought about that as well Greg, but both are pinched the same way. It is a weird set up

      I think that is what got it hooked up.
