Hi There,
I just installed a new Glacier Bay 100B faucet w/ sprayer. Once I turned the water back on, flushed the lines and tested the sprayer, it shot out fine but the line was leaking. I tightened the line, no leaks, but now just a trickle from the sprayer.. uggh!
Thoughts?
TIA

Unscrew the sprayer. Run water only through the hose. See if you have lots of pressure. Clean sprayer aerator. Reinstall.

With the spray head removed can you get a full stream from the hose when the faucet's turned on? Let me know. Tom

If, after removing the sprayer head, you still get no water out of the hose does it still come out of the spout? If so check the hose for sa kink or blockage. Hose OK? Then that puts it in the valve body itself. Turn the water off to the valve , open it up and flush it out by turning the supplies back on for a minute. Let me know what vhappens. Good luck, Tom

Well, after taking the dang thing apart like three times and not being able to access the diverter, I just returned it to the store. I bought another one (different brand!) at a small upgraded price, put it in in about ten minutes, worked great! Lesson: Keep all your packaging in pristine condition until you know if the faucet works!
Thank you so much for the advice and your time!
