When I turn on the hot water of my bathroom faucet it runs for about a second or 2 normally and then you hear a clunk in the pipes and the pressure drops way down and I only get a trickle. If I turn the handle slowly I can keep the pressure on the medium side for about 10 seconds then it clunks and drops to a trickle. I have switched the valves stems and get same problem. I am trying to sell my home and would like to try and get this fixed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you have good pressure in the other pipes in the house ?

From the "design to sell" on TV, if you are trying to sell you want to put in new faucets anyway.

The faucet is only a year old and is pretty nice so do not think the actual faucet is the problem. The rest of the house pipes have good pressure.

Can anyone help me on this please?

I can try! One of two things are happening here. (1) you have a two handled faucet and the screw retaining the washer came loos and the washer's blocking the flow or (2) and this is my pick. A small pebble got in your water system and is lodged downstream of the angle stop. As the supplies are vertical the pebble drops down to the base of the supply until you make a draw. You will get pressure until this sucks the pebble up against the seat of the angle stop shutting off the flow. You already know which supply's affected. All that needs to be done is the hot water angle stop removed and the supply flushed out. Good luck and let me know.

Thanks for sending some help Tom I will try this weekend to get this figured out. Question I have is how should I do this as I know it is only the hot water line in the bathroom? Should I open the faucet until the clunk and then close the angle stop and see if the possible pebble in the line between the angle stop and faucet or if it is not able to pass the angle stop?

It sounds more like it's the angle stop seat that hangs it up. You can do the job yourself. Just shut the water off at the house shutoff and remove the angle stop. Place a pan over the open pipe and turn the water back on to flush out the supply. You should find it in the pan. Good luck, Tom
