After 2 years of use, the tub faucet became increasingly blocked. I removed the spout to find it was blocked, somewhere in the narrow part of the arc. I cannot see what is blocking the water and I cannot force anything through the spout. I cannot purchase a replacement spout. What could possibly be blocking the spout and how can I clear it? Thanks!! Mike
If you will make contact with George at M-One-Specialites he can track that down for you and help you get that fixed.
He has a very extensive list of repair parts for faucets and knowledge of how these work.

I would say it is a washer on the stem, here is a website that will assist you:

Most new kitchen faucets feature single-handle control levers and washerless designs that rarely require maintenance. Additional features include brushed metallic finishes, detachable spray nozzles, or even push-button controls.Connect the faucet to hot and cold water lines with easy-to-install flexible supply tubes made-from vinyl or braided steel. If your faucet has a separate sprayer, install the sprayer first. Pull the sprayer hose through the sink opening and attach to the faucet body before installing the faucet.
Where local codes allow, use plastic tubes for drain hookups. A wide selection of extensions and angle fittings lets you easily plumb any sink configuration. Manufacturers offer kits that contain all the fittings needed for attaching a food disposer or dishwasher to the sink drain system.

The is plenty of water pressure. The blockage is after the cartridges, in the neck of the arched spout.,
I went to ACE and the guy suggested a small sink router. While routing, fragments of what looked like, aspestos insulation, came out. After cranking for a while , and then adding Drano gel, I managed to get through. However, it still is partially blocked by something that feels like metal wire. I do not understand what was or what still is inside that spout. For now, it is usable.Thanks. Mike
After I cleared the spout, using a sink rodder, it became completely re blocked.. I re-rodded, over and over. Each time, I extracted small pieces of what looked like, insulation. There also is some object, inside the narrow part of the spout, which feels metallic. This metal object makes it difficult to pass the rodder. It is working, now, but I expect that it will become re-blocked, as I use it. Wish I knew what the heck was inside this spout.spout
