Have a 4 year old Micro Belle Rope faucet # 1430. The cartridge needs to be replaced. Is there a way to shut off the water from the faucet itself, without shutting off water to the entire house? I have no idea what I did with the original manual.

Turn off water. Use small screwdriver or blade and pry off cap (1) to reveal screw (3). Remove screw and handle. Then turn collar(7) and remove. Then turn cartridge lock ring (8) and remove. Cartridge should pull out.
shut off water to shower, remove knob by popping cover off and removing screw, remove valve cover by just pulling straight out. there will be a retaining clip that holds cartridge in you will need to remove, Pull out old cartridge and replace with new.
Check the hot water shut off valve, when the washer fails sometimes the valve itself sticks closed, and sometimes the washer breaks up and clogs water passageways down stream...
To test, pull the hose off of the hot water shut off valve, open the valve and see if you have water flow. (route hose into a bucket, you need more that a small amount of water.....
If you have good water flow from the shut off valve, then you likely have a particle that has lodged in the passageways of the faucet. Reverse flow with air pressure and see what you get out....
If a faucet is leaking the necessary repair will be either: 1. For a ceramic or washerless faucet, replace the cartridge. 2. For a typical old fashioned faucet, open the faucet, replace the washer (and packing if it has any) and verify that the faucet seat has not eroded. The newer washerless faucets cannot be repaired except by replacing the cartridge. Cartridges for most common faucets are available at most home improvement stores or plumbing supply houses. It sounds a lot more difficult than it really is, just shut off the water (usually a shut off valve under the sink). After the water is off, remove the handle and any chrome protective covering. Depending on the faucet type, it may be a little difficult to remove the cartridge since they are often covered with mineral build-up or corroded into place. Once you remove the old cartridge the new one usually goes into place easily. NOTE!!! For single handle faucets, make sure you put it in the right way, some of them will put the hot to the wrong side if you put them together backward.
Yes, debris from water heater replacements often breaks lose and gets stuck. The problem could potentially be anywhere between water heater and the faucet. The faucets shut off valves or the Delta faucet cartridge itself. Turn the hot and cold water valves off under the sink and disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet. aim the water supply lines into a bucket and turn the valves on one at a time. If there is a significant reduction in the water pressure and volume on the hot water side, you need to replace the shut off valve. If there is no reduction in water pressure, you need to clean and/or replace the Delta faucet cartridge. Contact Delta to receive free replacement parts.
It may just be that you need a new cartridge. If you can replace cartridge without to much problem I would do that. Depending on your water quality the cartridge may be very hard to remove on a faucet that old. Also if the handle actuating hole is worn very much you may have to replace it also. By the time you buy parts you may have half or more of the price of new faucet, I would recommend that you replace faucet. Hope this helps. Thanks
First try the tip ariator. it can plug up. then you have to check the inlet system, which includes shut off valves, hoses to the faucet and the cartridge. It is the cartridge that has the small openings, but shut off valve seat material falls back into the feed channel. I usually remove cartridge, cover with a towel and turn on feed water briefly. Often I get little pieces.
