    We need more details. The word valve is not usually used when talking about plumbing. Are you meaning faucet or spigot? Where, hot or cold or both?

    This is a valve on the output pipe of the hot water heater that feed the faucet in a downstairs bathroom. When open the valve the water does not flow. Maybe I have to replace the 'guts' of the valve? Thx, Tom

    No water out of that faucet at all ? Try to remove aerator on that faucet to see if that restore water flow...

    What kind of valve is it ? Perhaps, you could snap and post a picture of it ? Back to you...

    So is it just the hot side of this fixture only, you get hot water everywhere else in the house, right? Can I assume you have just this one water heater for the entire home?
