No Water to Kitchen Tap? Is there a shutoff Valve?

Filled fresh water tank, water goes everywhere else but not to kitchen tap? What am I missing?

Did you check your faucet nozzle screen? So far every time I've had the problem that's where it's been.

It probably did not come with shut offs under the sink, but that was one of the first modifications I did on both of my units.

No OEM shutoffs. Sounds like blockage in the sink line.

It could be either. Many kitchen faucets on Montana's have TWO screens not just one and many of us have added shutoffs to all our lines. It's very easy now with sharkbites.

If it is a Moen faucet (our 2007 3400RL had one), there is a plastic disk-type check valve in the assembly that is prone to failure. We had to remove it from ours to solve low and no-flow problems. Here is an excerpt from a previous posting years ago:

"I went onto Moen's website last night and left a message for their "technical" department. Today they called me ... phenomenal experience the lady didn't have an Indian accent. She was knowledgable and a pleasure to talk to! I guess I'm getting old and cynical!

Anyway, the faucet model in the 07 Montanas is the Extensa. If you go on their website and look at the pictures of their faucet it would appear that we have the model 87315 Series however this is incorrect. They redesigned the head of the Extensa so that the new ones have 2 buttons to select between spray and stream. The chrome hose and the check valve in the end of the hose identifies the model as the Extensa.

She said that there were two check valves in the system. One is located in the head itself and the other is located at the opposite end of the hose that ties into the main faucet feed. The purpose of those check valves is to keep debris out of the head. Both of them just "push" into the hose/wand and can be removed with a flat bladed screwdriver, paper clip, or long nose pliers.

She suggested that when the problem is happening to remove the wand and see if the problem continues. If so then the check valve in the end of the hose is bad or not working properly. If the problem goes away then remove the check valve in the wand and give it a try. It should then work. Once you determine which check valve isn't working properly then you can remove it and give the a call or email and they will send you a new one."

As mentioned, if is a Moen, they have a lifetime guarantee as well.

Hope this helps,

Solved: The faucet on the island was spun around a few to many times and caused a pinched line! Thank you all that commented.
