Quick fix for no hot water to a faucet #diy #helpingothers #plumbing

What happens here

With the reconfigured supply line aimed into the bucket, execute the back-flush. Turn on the hot water handle on the sink, then turn on the cold water handle. This will force cold water to travel through the faucet body, cross over into the hot water channel, and flow backward down the hot water inlet, through the attached supply line, and into the bucket. This reverse flow should dislodge any debris or mineral buildup causing the clog. Let it run for 10-15 seconds.

Goal: Dislodge internal debris from the faucet
