I have a Kohler single handle kitchen fosit that was leaking verry bad. So I took the handle off and tightned the fosit... it was loose and would turn all the way around if the wall was not in the way. So I tightned everything down. When I turned the water back on there was no pressure. So I loosened everything just a bit... I thought I might have made it to tight. Still no pressure. Any suggestions?? Thank you :confused::rolleyes:

While you were tightening the faucet did you close the angle valves I am just asking you may forgotten to turn it back on, other wise you need to remove the handle, the dome if it is the ball type remove the ball and cheek for any obstruction, if it a disk/cartridge or stem type do the same, if you post the model number will be helpful,when the ball or the other items are removed turn on the water for a few seconds to flush the faucet, Thanks.

I received a reply and I did try these things but no luck. Could there be air in the line? If so how do I fix that. My Dad is a plumber and that was his suggestion. But he is to far to come and fix it for Me.:(

Let's go back to square one. When you had the valve apart did you turn the water back om to flush out the supplies? Was there a strong stream? Did you check the inlet ports of the cartridge to see if they were clear? (see image) Let me know. Tom

Tom, I have a very strong stream of water... got the entire kitchen and me in one squirt. So yes there is a strong stream? I had the valve apart I turned the water back on to flush out the supplies? I did check the inlet ports of the cartridge to see if they were clear and they are. I relay appreciate your help! :D
