Squeaky Hot Water Side of Faucet
|
|
|
| We just installed(about 2 weeks ago) a Moen Model 84200 lavatory faucet:
http://home.mindspring.com/~tomcom/Moen/Faucet.jpg
The hot water side has begun squeaking when turning on and off.
The cold water side is fine.
We had a Peerless faucet prior to this and it did the same thing.
I don't think that water pressure is an issue because we have the same
pressure at the bathtub and kitchen sink with no problems.
Any suggestions?
Lubricating the water is not an option.
TIA.

"Squeaky" is not enough information.
However, sometimes "noises" occur when pipes are improperly secured.
Particularly on the hot side. A common issue is when a wooden peg is used to
secure a pipe when it passes through a drilled opening in a stud.
Because of the changing temperature (cold to hot), movement, and expansion
and contraction you can have a variety of noises. This sounds the most
logical to me, especially since you said that the problem existed with the
Peerless valve as well.

Darn, I thought you'd tell him how to safely lubricate his water (what do
you think he meant by that?).

I've lubricated a lot of things in my life from air lines to C-900 on one
end to deer rifles and vaginas on the other. I don't ever recall lubricating
water....?
