Hello,

I'm new to these forum and I'm looking for as much help as I can get so I appreciate anybody's input.

I recently replaced an old wall-mounted kitchen faucet because the cartridge for the cold knob broke or popped out. I later learned that I can just replace the cartridge and didn't need to replace the entire faucet BUT I guess it's okay since my landlord is going to reimburse me anyway.

I'm new at this and never done it so please bear with me. Anyway, I installed the faucet and turned on the main water valve and hardly any water comes out of the faucet.

The faucet I purchased looks like the following: Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet on 8 In. Centers - 0048-UA at The Home Depot

Every other faucet in the house is running normal and I tried uninstalling the faucet and run the main water valve to see if the pipes are clogged, that wasn't the case.

I don't know what else to do, the new faucet instruction manual and the instructions from the back states that the installation of the faucet is as easy as 1-2-3, "No special tools required and no experience needed."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You aren't doing anything wrong. You simply disturbed some mineral built up on the pipe walls and it got sucked up into your shiny new faucet when you first turned it on. Let's try the easy fix first. Remove the aerator ,(see image) from the spoput and turn the water back on. If you get a stream out of the spout then clean the screens on the aerator. If not click on back and we'll open up the valve and flush it out. Good luck and thank you for rating my reply. Tom
