Urning water back on after using bread to help solder the copper pipes and some of the faucets are clogged. How can we get the water flowing again through the faucets? This is the hot water side.

First thing remove the Aerators see the image below, turn on the water if good flow clean the screens and install the Aerators, if no flow come back will tell you how to clean the faucets, Thanks.

Thank you Jon, We did take off the aerators and still no flow. The faucets that are not flowing are newer Kohler faucets - kitchen and bathroom where the flex lines are hooked to the faucets.

Close trhe angle valves under the sinks disconnect the supply lines at the Fuacet, place the end of the lines in a pan open the angle valve and see if you have good flow, if you do the next step will be to remove the cartridges, good luck.

Sounds like you've clogged the hot water inlet ports on the cartridges, Turn the water off and remove the cartridge. Check and clean the inlet ports. Now turn the water back on for a moment to flush out the supplies. Do this on each faucet that's affected. Good luck, Tom

Thank you all for your help. We ended up calling Kohler and we had one aerator that was full of bread and another we had to clean out the inlet to the sprayer.

Hey Billnickel,
Thank you for the update, I never use bread for just that reason. I take my torch and burn out the moisture before soldering.
Cheers, Tom

Hello Billnickel,

Thanks for the update and am glad that we could help.
