The sediment in my Thor installed faucet wasn't in the faucet head. I had removed the entire spray head from the end of the faucet. When I turned on the valve no water flowed out through the internal structure of the faucet and valve assembly. I cracked the fitting connectors under the sink and water sprayed out both the hot an cold connections. That told me water was getting TO the faucet valves but not THROUGH the valves.
After my service guy replaced the faucet, he took the old one apart. He said there was some type module in front of the valves that was completely blocked with sediment. He said he never saw anything like that and there was no such part listed in any of the faucet parts breakdown catalogs that he had.
One good thing about installing the Moen faucet is that I now have a metal assembly not a plastic one.
