My wife woke me up about an hour ago telling me the heat, which has already been fixed, and the hot water was not working. Upon a nape ruin I found that the hot water was fine, except for in our downstairs bathroom. This bathroom is part of a home extension done before we bought the house. The cold water is running fine and at full pressure, but the hot is not, which in my opinion rules out a frozen pipe. I took the pipe going from the valve to the faucet off and there is no water coming out at the valve. The valve was never turned off so I'm leaning towards the hose going from the water heater to the valve. There is no valve to shut off that particular line, so I have to turn off all hot water to work on this. There is also some sort of cove fitting down there I have never seen. It's just a solid coupler with some kind of pressure fittings on the pipes themselves. I have been unsuccessful in getting either pipe out of that coupler. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you all.

Can you snap a photo of that "coupler" and post it for us ? Also, is there separate water heater for the addition ?

Back to you

Same water heater as the rest of the house. I figured out the coupler it's a shark bite... I got it apart and it's good so if the line it's frozen between the sharkbite and the valve under the sink.
