American Standard Edgewater Single handle pull out faucet. Hot water pressure trickles.

First faucet pressure was low both hot and cold. Then next day water pressure almost nil. After following steps to fix the problem couldnt get working. Company sent second one. Water pressure good on cold but hot water pressure next to nothing. We checked the areator it was fine. Flushed the pipes. Water supply is fine. My father removed cartridge. Ran the water. Cold water came out where the cartridge was taken out. But the hot trickled out. He turned off water and disconnected hoses blew are through. Air would go through the side where the cold water would go through. Tried on the hose for the hot.Barely any air on that side. So seems like the problem is not in the hoses???

Mixing valve and ceramic washers are defective. American Standard is not what it used to be. Parts are substandard and imported from china. Get yourself a Glacier Bay, and contact American Standard and demand your money back or a credit.

SOURCE: no hot water pressure

These types faucets have a what is called an anti scald valve build into them, it is required by law, it is either defective or out of adjustment, contact a local hardware store for more detailed info.

Have single handle faucet with pull out sprayer. Whe I turn handle toward the hot side the water pressure drops almost to a trickle. Turn to cold and it is ok. What is problem and how to fix Thanks

Check under the sink at the valves that the hot and cold water lines are connected to. See if the hot water one is turned on all the way.

Water will not flow through on american standard with pressure balance. Some hot water came out with low pressure then stopped and now nothing will flow.

I just spent a week wrestling with a similar problem, and I'm posting in an attempt to save someone else an ulcer. Using a Colony single-handle valve, the temperature got so we couldn't control it. Either all hot or all cold. I called A.S. and they sent a new pressure balancing cartridge and new valve cartridge. Replaced both and then there was no water at all coming out of the shower head. Tried every possible combination of old and new parts, flushed pipes, etc. Finally took the shower head off and found it completely clogged with debris. It was a mix of sediment and the white grease that was in the new cartridges, which must have been displaced when I started messing with it. And it clogged it all at once (no flow problems before all of this). Works fine now!

When turning on the shower faucet there is no hot water.

Can you remove handle , behind handle there should be a dial to move to increase hot or cold supply.

Remember where you start and remove it and replace a 1/8 to 1/4 turn counter clockwise, just put handle on try it and see if it changes and adjust accordingly.

American Standard Cadet 2-handle tub & shower set-Model#3275 - low pressure output

When you installed the new tub faucet you probably turned off the water to that faucet of even the whole house. IF IT IS AN OLDER HOUSE, TURNING THE WATER OFF AND BACK ON CAN LOOSEN SOME DEBRIS IN THE WATER LINES THAT CAN FIND THEIR WAY TO YOUR NEW FAUCET. If there is a screen at the end of the water outlet it can be clogged with gunk. Uncrew the screen on the water outlet and clean. You may also want to flush out the hot and cold outlets by turning the water off, removing the cartigages and slowly let water flush them out. Then reassemble. Also when you have the tub handles out you can turn the hot and cold supply valves off and on a few times to loosen more debris if it exsists........Joe
