    Bathtub faucet
    After a few minutes the hot water stops flowing when the faucet is turned on. A new faucet was installed a few months ago and was working fine up until a few days ago. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

    How often you flush your water heater? Sounds like a settlement is clogging the cartridge.
    Try this. Shut the water off and pull the cartridge, Check the inlet ports for trash and clean. Now place a pan over the open valve and turn the water back on for a minute to flush out the supply. You should have a strong stream when doing so. Reassemble and test. If that works do it on all affected taps, good luck, Tom

When the faucet is turned towards the hot water side the water quits all together. The cold side works fine. This is a Moen faucet with just the single knob.
