I have been a service plumber for about 20 years and I have encountered vapor locks before, but to be honest I have never ran into a sink that only drains cold water, but not hot. I also thought this thread was a joke also at first. With the other people chiming in with the same problem I guess it's a real issue. If we are honest, we all run into things once in a while as plumbers that we have never seen before and we are always learning. I'd love to hear the remedy for this problem in case I ever run into it at some point in the field. My guess is some sort of vapor lock issue, poor venting, or a blockage in the drain. Is there an air admittance valve or auto vent serving this fixture? I would start by cabling this drain out and see where your at after that. Next, if you have an air admittance vavle, auto vent, or similar I would try unscrewing it or removing it and see if it drains ok after that. In case for some wierd reason it was causing the issue. Or do these in reverse order. After that I honestly don't know what to tell you. It's a puzzling situation having never ran into the issue before and without actually seeing the sink in question. I hope someone has an answer for you as I would love to learn from this myself. Good luck!
