I replaced cold water supply line and shut off valve to bathroom sink before had a small stream of water now have no water flowing from just the cold side in that one faucet

Hi sounds like a air lock ,easy to sort if you are handy, you need a hose pipe connected to main supply , then connect to the tap that's not working have someone watch and hold this pipe because the pressure will push the air out , do this for about 10 seconds ,then WALLA

This may be a stupid question but what is a hose pipe?

Hi here in the UK we use a hose pipe to water the garden wash the car with "get it"?it is connected to the mains at my garden tap it is also very flexible it being made of rubber lol , we have had the wetness yr in history because the bloody yanks are using too much fuel NRG causing constet rain here ,were bloody sinking

Hi Maroll

Please do NOT listen to Jazzas as he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, OK? And Jazzas, with answers like you gave, you probably shouldn't be posting on the plumbing page as we will jump all over any incorrect or silly/inappropriate answers here, OK?

Maroll, you replaced the cold shutoff and the flexible supply line to the sink, but have hot water flowing just fine? If so, then the first thing to check is to disconnect the new supply line (shut water at the new shutoff first) and dirst the supply tube into a bucket and turn the water back on. If water flows well then the issue is up in the faucet and you will need to disassemble the cold water side of the faucet and clear of debris/sediment. If water doesn't flow then the issue is at the shutoff and you will need to shut off the water main and disassemble the shutoff itself to see if you can find the issue!

Check these things and let us know what you find, OK?

PS: There is no such thing as "air lock" in water piping. You can have air in the lines, but only need to open a faucet to dsiplace that air with water (be sure to remove the aerator so it doesn't get plugged up)!

Thanks I will check that out. My first thought was it could be the faucet. I knew there wasn't any such thing as an air lock because first I've not heard of it and second it doesn't make sense. I'm not sure of what answers you think I posted I'm the one asking the question. Correct me if I am wrong but this site is for posting questions in hopes of getting ideas from others so my posting of the plumbing question should not be an issue.

Hi Maroll

Please reread my answer to your question. Hopefully, I answered your question respectfully as you presented it while also letting you know that Jazzas' answer was incorrect!

You did your job... hopefully I did mine (albeit unpaid! )... :)

Yep re read it. I miss read at first. Thanks again.
