My girlfriend's pedestal sink was installed improperly.. the previous
tenants hadn't bolted it to the wall at all. Today we decided to try
to fix this. All went well until I tried to turn on the water again
after the fix. It didnt run. The best way to show what I have tried so
far is by the diagrams on this drawing I did:

Can anyone see where I may have screwed anything up???

HaHa! Great graphics!

Is there an aerator screen in the spout?
Unscrew that and see if it's clogged.

Beyond that, there must be a check valve
or spool in the main casting. I would be tempted
to whack it (gently) to try and shake it loose.

Or, get the mfr name/model and go to their web site
for any possible info.

Awesome sketches!

Based on the "evidence".....I'd check for a clogged aerator screen

Let us know how it works out.
