Handle and Cartridge Orientation<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">Ensure the cartridge is installed in the correct orientation:<ul style="font-family: initial;"><li style="font-family: Inter;">The pins on the cartridge must align with the holes in the valve.</li></ul></li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Confirm you are lifting/turning the handle correctly as per the valve&apos;s instructions.</li></ul>4. Flush the Lines<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">Remove the cartridge.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Flush the lines to clear any debris.&#xA0;</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Reinstall the cartridge and test again.&#xA0;</li></ul>5. Check for Clogged Cartridge<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">If there is still no water:<ul style="font-family: initial;"><li style="font-family: Inter;">Remove the cartridge again.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Test each water line individually to ensure water flows through them.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">If water flows correctly from both sides, the cartridge may be clogged (likely during installation).
