Back to the basics...did you turn the hot water shutoff back on? Is it a multi-turn shutoff or a 1/4-turn one? If it was old, and multi-turn, the washer could be shot, and it is all clogged. Try disconnecting the hose and see if you can get any flow into a bucket from the connection.
remove the handle, find the plastic disk with teeth, pull out disk and turn to left for hot, right for cold, set disk back in place, then replace the handle, repeat as necessary.
There is a restriction in the valve or the stop from supply is restricted,check stop at sink to make sure it is opened all the way,if it is then turn off water supply disconnect hot water to faucet take container open valve slowly to see if it is restricted,if that is open and water flow is good.Then it is in the faucet you must then disassemble hot side cartridge and see if there is some type of blockage if none visible the with hot side disassembled slowly open valve to see if you can flush out any foreign matter (note the way it is disassembled so you can reinstall exactly how if was taken out to avoid any reassembly problems).
If you have full pressure on the cold water side and low pressure on the hot side then you well need to remove and clean or replace the cartridge for the hot side. If you have low water pressure on both sides try removing the aerator and cleaning it.
If you need to replace the cartridge on the hot side do both sides while you at it.
Whenever you work on any faucet before you turn the water on remove the aerator and run the water for a few seconds then replace the aerator.
Is newly installed a phrase for under 6 months? If this is a faucet that is about 3 months old, it could either be hard water (possible debris) or a control valve failure. I would suggest you turn it in for a warranty correction. If that is not an option, your best bet is to shut off the hot and cold water underneath the sink, remove the handle and dismantle down to the valve cartridge. Remove and replace the cartridge. If this fixes it, make a written note as to when it was done. If the problem returns again in a short time, it's something coming through your water and will continue to give you grief. In that case, buy a two handle faucet and forget the fancy fixture. Nimsgame
Call Price Pfister at 1-800-PFAUCET and ask them to send you a new hot and cold stem for free. These faucets are easy to repair. Here is the parts breakdown for your faucet. Turn the water supply of to the faucet. Remove the index button from the top of each handle. Unscrew the handle retaining screw. Pull the handle off. Unscrew the stems with an adjustable wrench; turn them counterclockwise. Install the new stems and reinstall the hanldes; it may take a couple of times to get them set in just the right positions. Slowly turn the water back on and open the faucet.
I had the same problem. I simply removed the small brass fitting that the water supply screws onto.i removed the screen that is inside the brass fitting. Now the pressure is fine.
MOST LIKELY YOU HAVE A CLOG AT THE SEAT ON THE INSIDE OF THE FAUCET, TYPICALLY SAND, PEBBLES, OR PIPE SEALANT. TURN THE WATER OFF, UN-SCREW THE HANDLE, REMOVE THE SET SCREW LOCATED INSIDE THE HANDLE BODY, PULL THE HANDLE BODY UP, LOOSEN THE NUT, REMOVE THE SEATS AND STEM AND UN-CLOG THEM.
It's likely that you have some sediment that has accumulated in the cold water valve and has clogged it. The model number you have cited above is only for the trim (rather than for the valves behind it). Assuming that you have a Price Pfister valve, they don't have built in filters, so you're probably going to have to either clean or replace the valve.
I had the same problem. The Price Pfister web site recommends removing the handle (unscrew the dome cap, then remove the phillips screw to get the handle off) then tightening the retaining ring (I used channel lock pliers on largest setting. It worked. However the retaining ring is plastic on some models, and they recommend replacing it with a brass one. I haven't taken that step yet, we'll see how it goes (mine is plastic).
