SOURCE: Pressure problem with Kohler shower faucet??

Hi pglaw,

My best guess is the supply valve for the hot side isn't open all the way. This valve is right on the valve and is accessed by taking off the front cover plate. This would still allow the pressure balancing valve to let water through but then you would have a small flow on the hot side.

If this isn't it then then cartridge is bad.

Please rate this response and good Luck,, phil

SOURCE: No hot water pressure on kohler bath / shower faucet

Try draining the system and apply air pressure (min 30psi) to each faucet. Open other hot water faucets to allow pressure to vent. Next try draining and cleaning the hot water tank.

I have a Kohler kitchen faucet, model# K10416CP that is leaking around the bottom of the center ring just above the spout. It leaks very bad when we change the position of the spout. Can we fix this...

yes, remove the nut and lift the faucet up and out, you will see a rubber washer/o-ring that is like chewed up, at any home improvement center,hardware store or even a discount in there plumbing section they have faucet repair kits. Either take the old piece or the faucet and match it up, then reinstall and it will all be good. Good Luck Tim

Why would spout leak at the swivel?

The swivel base needs to be tightened. There is a gasket underneath.
