Two-Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet Leak Repair

What happens here

After successfully stopping the leak from the faucet stem, a new problem was identified: inadequate hot water flow from the hot water side. This is attributed to a potentially faulty hot water angle stop valve under the sink. The valve appears to be damaged or internally blocked, not allowing proper water flow to the faucet despite being 'on'. This issue is noted as a future project for repair.

Goal: Acknowledge and plan for resolving a new plumbing problem.

Okay, and so it's shut off now, but we don't get a lot of hot water on this side. So now we have a different problem, right? This hot water shutoff valve underneath the sink, this angle stop. Well, one, you can't actually get a good shutoff or a thing on it without putting pliers to it because it's a drain line. But then two, I actually think that the seal that shuts this off is gone and it's probably blocking this valve and not allowing the water to come to the faucet the way that it should. Or it's went up to my faucet and it's completely clogged it. We might have to take that apart again, but they've got hot water for right now. We've stopped the drip and this is a video for another day. Okay, folks. So you can tell we've got a lot more work coming up here with that angle stop not working. I feel like the seal has broken off in there and it's probably stopping that up. I'm not positive just a guess, but we're going to know taking it apart and getting hooked up at some point for. Okay, stay tuned. I really hope you guys are enjoying the videos. If you guys need tools or a part for this, if you're dealing with an AquaSource or a ProSource faucet, I'll put a link in the description box. It's also the same for certain models of Delta stuff. You know, really this job was very easy. You could have done it with just a a screwdriver, like a 6-1 screwdriver, the right Allen wrenches and an adjustable jaw wrench. It could have went very smooth, but as usual, it's plumbing and it didn't. All right, I really hope you folks are enjoying the channel. Please subscribe, click that like button.
