What happens here

To determine if the clog is in the faucet or the supply line, disconnect the flexible supply line from the hot water inlet on the faucet itself. Place the disconnected end of the hose into a 5-gallon bucket. Briefly and slowly turn the shut-off valve back on. If water flows strongly into the bucket, this confirms the supply line and valve are clear, and the obstruction is inside the faucet body.

Goal: Confirm the clog is not in the supply line or valve

Tools and materials

  • Bucket — Catching water to test flow and prevent spills
