pedestal sink installation - faucet stopped working
 

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.
