Slow and nonexistent water flow.

I have an American Standard 6310 series combi faucet in my kitchen. I noticed the water flow was slow, so I removed the hot water supply and cleaned out the mineral deposits. Put it back together and then had no water. There is water above the manifold, but when you put the cartridge on, no water. Called American Standard--they said I needed a new cartridge. 15 days later new one appears and I installed. First a slow drip of water and then nothing again. What now?

Start by removing the spray head from the hose. Pull the spray head out and with a channel lock pliers unthread connection between the spray head and hose. BE CAREFUL not to let the hose fall back down into the faucet. With the hose directed down toward the sink test for volume by turning on the faucet. If you get a nice volume the problem is in the spray head. This is usually the case. Put the spray head back on then remove the aerator. It's the screen where the water comes out of the spray head. Clean out the assembly ( 3-4 parts). Reassemble and test.

Good luck, Phil

American Standard Kitchen Faucet Low water flow

I had the same issue with an American Standard faucet that I installed new 6 months ago. The diverter can be the issue if you have a sprayer attachment. Try unscrewing the sprayer head from the hose it's attached to. Now run the water full pressure with the hose pointed into the sink, obviously :~). After running the water for about 1 minute, connect the sprayer head back onto the hose, make certain the flat rubber washer and ring gaskets are seated in their grooves properly, and tighten until you have no water leaking from the sprayer head/hose connection. Now try the water through the faucet. If the problem was a temporary diverter issue, your pressure should be fine now. Good luck

Base of faucet leaks- cannot remove set screw at handle American Standard Elite kitchen faucet series 4453

if you are having trouble removing the set screw make sure you are using the correct size allen wrench and confirm that it is a allen screw and not a trox screw. After doing this try tighten the screw slightly before loosening it. This should break it loose.

IF HAVE A AMERICAN STANDARD KITCHEN (6310) . I JUST READ THE PART TAKE FACTCET APART AND TURN ON WATER . I DID THIS AND GET WATER ON COLD SIADE BUT NOT ON HOT. THIS IS WITH CARTRIDGE OUT .DOES THIS TELL...

It says you have a problem with the hot water. First thing to do is to turn the hot water supply valve under the sink off, and then remove the line from the valve to the faucet at the valve. Then put a bucket underneath the valve and turn it on (carefully). If you don't get any flow, then the problem is in the valve or the pipes supplying the faucet. If you get flow there, then the problem is in the supply line or possibly at the faucet.

We have a problem with the cold water flow as it just trickle out. The hot water flow is fine. We have the Combi Faucet 6310 series

I would check take apart the cold flex connector and check the flow when running water into a bucket, if it is wimpy then there is a blockage in the angle stop or the flex connector. If it is good you will need to take the cartridge out, check for signs of debris and possibly replace it

Slow flow, spray will not stay on.

you need pressure to make the spray stay on so maybe check the valve under the sink to see if it has turn almost off, that happen when the pull out nozzle gets returned and the heavy weight on the hose hits the hose

Apparent flow blockage

I would turn off the water then check to make sure you have good flow up to the faucet itself. If you do then there might be a proplem with the cartridge or diverter. does it have a sprayer? If it has a sprayer head for the spout of the faucet then there will be what the call a check valve inside the spray head itself that canbe removed with a skinny screwdriver or something thin and long
