If it’s not making this noise for any other faucet, it’s probably one that has a hose sprayer. If yes, then there is a faulty diverter check valve in the faucet that wouldn’t red to be replaced. If your not handy, by a new faucet.

SOURCE: one handle kitchen faucet leaks

There are "o" rings in the area where it is leaking. You can get them at almost every hardware chain. Clean everything well with scotchbrite ant put silicon grease on before you put it back together.

SOURCE: The kitchen sink makes a loud popping noise

Try removing the aerator on the faucet. If that resolves the popping sound, try replacing it with one that allows for a higher flow of water. (Also the existing aerator may be clogged).

SOURCE: faucet is leaking from the cold water line inside

Hello
First shut off water to faucet.There should be a allen screw that holds the faucet together near the top back of the handle,lossen this and pull top off.

Next take some pliers and tighten down the lock nuts to compress the washers,do this gently.

Reassemble,water should stop leaking.

SOURCE: I just installed anew american standard single

Hi,
The noise you are hearing is know as water hammer....it is a result of the sudden change in pressure in the piping....it is not cause for concern just a pain in the rear...

You could replace the faucet, but many of the newr ones for some reason do that...the other way to fix it is to have a water hammer arrestor installed in the piping...

There is a knocking sound from inside the faucet and it is leaking under it

when plumbing knocks and shakes the fittings I never seen it being the fauect causeing it. What it sounds more like that you have a loose pipe in the wall. That will bang every time the water goes on and off.

All single handle faucets are quick shut off which does not help to stop the bang. It makes it worst.

Try at first to turn off the water to the house, then open every fauect in the house and on the out side. I know it sound nuts, but this is what you are doing. when a house is bulit they install an AIR CHAMBER this is no more than a section of pipe 12 to 24 inch long with a cap on the end.

This traps air inside, you can compress air but not water so this acts like a shock absorboer that stops water hammer.

Now turn the water back on and then tirn off all the open fauects. If it stil does it you might have to open a wall and strap down the pipe work. also get some flex water supply lines for the lav faucet this will let the pipe move without making any bang soounds

Brand new $65 Peerless Faucet installed in Master bath---squeals like a woman having a kid & the master has to flush the toilet 6 to 8 times or so a day & night to make it *******!!! I've had...

You may be experiencing what is commonly called "water hammer" from trapped air in the water lines. The most common way to eliminate a water hammer is to replenish all air chambers with air. You can't inspect them, so here is how you do it. Shut off your home's main water supply valve (usually located by the water meter inside the basement, or on the other side of the wall from the water meter if the meter is outside the house.) Next, open the nearest outside faucet to the water meter. Then open several of the inside faucets including the one in the Master Bath. Last, open the faucet that is at the lowest level of the property (usually the utility tub in the basement). Turn it on all the way to drain all the water from the pipes. As the water is drained from the pipes, it is automatically replaced by air, including the air chambers. The moment the water is completely drained from the piping the lowest faucet should be turned off and the main valve reopened. Aire will be pushed out of the horizontal and open vertical water lines and sputter as it exits the faucets inside and out. When all faucets are running smoothly, close them one by one from outside to inside, lowest to highest. In most cases, this should give you quiet running faucets.

Rattling AFTER water use, while heating

1) Rattling or clunking sound in pipes when water is shut off can be caused by lack of air chamber at the faucet. When moving water is suddenly stopped by faucet turning off, the forward energy of water suddenly stopping will cause pipes to shake. This is because water cannot be compressed. To stop this problem, each faucet has air chamber connected to pipes behind the wall. The air chamber is a simple pipe sticking up with a cap on it. The air chamber never fills with water, so a 'pocket' of air is contained inside the pipe. When water shuts off, the forward motion of water moves up the air chamber where it compresses the air which absorbs the energy, so pipes don't rattle or clunk.

2) Gurgling, popping sound inside tank is caused by sediment build up.

Tank will not turn on when sink hot water is turned on

Do other faucets in the house work ok? if so the kitchen faucet may not be creating enough water flow to trigger the noritz. The Noritz have a flow meter inside of them (depending on the year they where made, older units require 3/4 GPM, newer models require 1/2 GPM). If the kitchen faucet is not turning on the hot water, you can check the angle stop and make sure it is open all the way. Also check the aerator on the faucet to make sure it is not plugged and restricting the flow.

I Have a single handle peerless kitchen faucet that's making a shrill noise,and the water pressure is very weak.

Possible causes:
1. you have a air pocket t in the heated water system. You will need to bleed the system.
2. As to pressure, you may have knick in pipe somewhere due to worned plastic pipe.

What is that rattling sound when i use my kitchen faucet in the extreme hot or extreme cold position?

Water hammer: is a loud banging or clanging of the pipes usually occurring when a valve is turned on or off due to loose pipes.

Solution: Anchor the offending pipes to the wall. Buy water hammer arrestors. Also Lower the water pressure with a pressure reducing valve

Hope this tip Helps.

Why did my moen faucet stop working? I have water flow throughout the house but the flow at the kitchen faucet just suddenly stopped!

Rubber gasket on the water shut off valve under the sink has come off and traveled up into the faucet. It's pretty difficult to get it out. If you have access to an air compressor you may get lucky by taking the faucet completely off the sink and blowing air back from the faucet outlet back into the internal piping to dislodge the rubber piece. If that doesn't work, or you can't use the air compressor method, then it's a trip to the hardware store for a new faucet.
