[C320-list] Hot Water Pressure at a trickle

[BA1978 at comcast.net]

The Dura Faucet DF-NMK852-SN I mentioned is $91 at Amazon (Brushed nickel version) also available in white, chrome ($190 for some reason) and antique bronze (not a likely choice for us, but, it's there.... 😉 ).  Quite pleased with the quality, actually. Only drawback was the change to the hole size, which, given the faucet's price, was pretty easy.  9.5" from stem to stern.... so to speak.

I have replaced my galley faucet twice in 20 years, both times with a Scanvik faucet from Fisheries Supply. I added an angular faucet from Amazon to increase the reach and flexibility of the flow.

I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of the faucet. I think it was Delta, but it fit directly into the hole where I remove the Moen faucet. When you pull out the Moen faucet, you may have to clip the connectors on the faucet to get it through the hole. You obviously need to take the entire cabinet, etc. out of where it is with the six screws.

> Troy - I cannot remember which side the valve was on but I do know that as soon as it was removed, the hot water flowed.  Maybe it was installed on the wrong side.  Love the idea of a single mixing valve and want to replace my two handle faucet.  The boat slightly lists to port and the faucet has a trickle leak which ends up pooling on the port side. I've gotten used to putting a t-towel on the port side of the faucet to catch the trickle.  No amount of tightening or plumbers tape works so it's time for a new one.

>> An anti scald device on a 320 is a new one on me.   There is definitely a check valve on most 320s that sits on the cold water inlet to the heater.   I wonder if a previous owner somehow accidentally installed it backward on the outlet side of the hot water heater after bypassing for winterizing.    The purpose of the check valve is to prevent hot water from backing up into the cold water lines.   I’m not really convinced it’s necessary.

I was so shocked that Hull#514 had the original faucet it was the first thing I replaced.
