Pressure Regulator

I just ran new copper lines for a small sink, including a water heater. When I turned on the water a small amount came out of the faucet's cold tap, under pressure, then no more came. I took off the faucet's filter before I turned on the water. If I turn off the water, then turn it back on, the same thing happens. I checked the filter screen in the pressure regulator and it's clean. Is there something going on internally in the PR that could be causing this? As far as I know, there isn't any blockage in the copper lines. There's nothing else in the system except PR, WH and sink. Oh, there are taps for a washing machine, but no washing machine. What's going on? -- charles On Monday, April 2, 2012 8:32:15 PM UTC-4, Charles Bishop wrote: I just ran new copper lines for a small sink, including a water heater.
