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

What happens here

After flushing, turn off both faucet handles and the cold water shut-off valve. Disconnect the supply line and return it to its normal configuration, running from the hot water shut-off valve to the hot water inlet on the faucet. Hand-tighten the connections and then use a wrench or tool for a final quarter-turn to secure them. Turn both the hot and cold water shut-off valves back on. Test the hot water handle on the faucet to confirm that full water pressure has been restored.

Goal: Return plumbing to normal and verify the repair
