    Kitchen faucet
    My husband installed a new kitchen faucet and now there is no water pressure. This has happened on all sinks he has installed new faucets. Is there something he is not doing right?

    Were ALL valves turned back on? Wonder if there is a protective cap left on?
    Turn water off, disconnect supply line at sink, turn back on(Have something to catch water in), This will narrow down greatly.

    HI LYN

    He is probably not removing the aerator at the end of all faucet spouts before turning water on.

    After installing a new faucet, debris in line gets caught in aerators if not removed and lines flushed before re-installing the aerators.

    They should twist out by turning clockwise... then clear/wash clean, and re-install.

    Also check flow of water without the aerator on... if good volume/pressure without aerator AND if you replace aerator and little pressure... you may need to replace the aerator (sold at any home supply store).

    Start there, at aerators... then if that did not fix... continue working with Stratmando... see from there.
