Back to the basics...did you turn the hot water shutoff back on? Is it a multi-turn shutoff or a 1/4-turn one? If it was old, and multi-turn, the washer could be shot, and it is all clogged. Try disconnecting the hose and see if you can get any flow into a bucket from the connection.

There could be some crud caught inside of the cartridge, so you might need to remove it and flush it out. Price Pfister single handle sink faucet no hot water

A little WD-40 was all it took, although it was quite difficult to remove using lock wrench pliars.

MOST LIKELY YOU HAVE A CLOG AT THE SEAT ON THE INSIDE OF THE FAUCET, TYPICALLY SAND, PEBBLES, OR PIPE SEALANT. TURN THE WATER OFF, UN-SCREW THE HANDLE, REMOVE THE SET SCREW LOCATED INSIDE THE HANDLE BODY, PULL THE HANDLE BODY UP, LOOSEN THE NUT, REMOVE THE SEATS AND STEM AND UN-CLOG THEM.

SOURCE: Price Pfister hot water runs slow

Check the supply line and valve to see if any dirt or foreign.matter got into the line or valve when you changed out your faucet. if this is not the problem you may have a faulty faucet. You may be able to back flush the faucet with a garden hose by leaving the hot side open, but you will get wet. If you used Teflon tape on the supply line and it is a compression fitting, some of the tape could be blocking the water. for more info go to waterheaterflush.com

We have a new Price Pfister 49 Series bathroom faucet set with two handles. Even with the hot water tap open full the water just dribbles out

If you have full pressure on the cold water side and low pressure on the hot side then you well need to remove and clean or replace the cartridge for the hot side. If you have low water pressure on both sides try removing the aerator and cleaning it.
If you need to replace the cartridge on the hot side do both sides while you at it.
Whenever you work on any faucet before you turn the water on remove the aerator and run the water for a few seconds then replace the aerator.

Just purchased the Price Pfister 42-YP. The hot water has limited water - just a trickle. What can i do to adjust?

Hi, David pressuming the water flow was good before you put in this new tap, then other than a problem with the tap! have you checked if you have an isolater valve on the pipe work under the unit, if so check that it is fully opened?
Thanks Paul.

I installed Series 26 Avalon faucet. The water flow rate is very slow. All fittings to the faucet are new. Could the problem be a faulty valve ?

Remove and clean the Price Pfister aerator. Turn the water on after you remove the aerator and check the flow-rate. Many new Lavatory and kitchen faucets are now equipped with Eco friendly water saver aerators. if the flow is normal without the aerator, the faucet is OK. if you want more water flow from your lavatory faucet, you will need to buy one of the old style high flow aerators from your hardware store. If you remove the aerator and still get low pressure from both hot and cold faucets, you may need to replace the faucet. Call the Price Pfister warranty phone number that came with your faucet.

Dripping faucet price pfister kitchen

Very nice kitchen faucet. I like Price Pfister's products. To repair it you will need a phillips screwdriver to remove the handles and crescent wrench to remove the cartridges. If it is dripping then one of the faucet cartridges need to be replaced. Its best to replace both cartridges as inevitably the other one will start to leak after you've replaced the troublesome one. Your local hardware store or plumbing supply store should have a replacement cartridge for this model. Remove one of the cartridges and take it with you to ensure you get the correct part. There is an exploded diagram of your faucet on the Price Pfister site at that shows the part number for the cartridge. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.http://www.pricepfister.com/www/ImageAssets/mirror/model/kitchen/savannah/savf8h6-85/ex-036-01.pdf

Water is very slow coming out on hot side but okay on cold side. Teh rest of house taps work great.

Remove the cartridge and rinse it in another sink. If you have hard water, soak the cartridge in vinegar for a couple of hours.

Water runs slow

Three possible reasons for low pressure. 1. faucet cartridge has debris in valve body. 2. aerator has debris ,just unscrew and clean out. 3. Water valves under sink are not opened up. hope this helps
