[C320-list] No hot water pressure

[Jack Brennan]

I have hot water pressure!

Some final notes on this project. The standard galley faucet is a Grohe. The 
handles can be removed by wedging a flathead screwdriver under them, 
wiggling it a bit and then pulling the handle up.

Under the handle is a brass cartridge that can be unscrewed with an 
adjustable wrench and probably some PB Blaster. Make sure the water pressure 
is turned off before you do this. I had some thick, tan goop that was 
clogging the cartridge. No idea what it was. Definitely not rust from the 
water heater.

In the head, I discovered that the goop was clogging the line leading to the 
faucet/sprayer. The handles there come off with a wrench. The cartridge is a 
little different, a plunger type.

As for the faucets themselves, I am resisting my wife's pleas for new ones. 
(They are a little pitted.) The nut holding the galley faucet appears 
immoveable, even with a special plumber's wrench. I think I will buy some 
Brasso instead.
