Hot Water faucet gurgles...?
I have back flushed the lines several times now for several minutes at a time. When I back flush the hot water continues to flow slow and gurgles. The faucet does not allow me to attach a hose to try and remove air lock either. Any ideas? Thanks!

BACK-FLUSH? Are you saying you are forcing water backwards into the system? If so - stop. You shouldn't need to flush the lines like that. Simply running the water will get any air in the lines out. IF the faucet is not working properly then there's a problem with the faucet itself. Not the water system. In fact, back flushing may have pushed a seal into something somewhere it shouldn't be.
I'd suggest shutting the water off and removing the guts from the faucet and do an inspection. Either a seal has moved or something in the line may have clogged the valve.
If you're using the term "Back-flush" incorrectly, if you simply mean flushing the lines - just running the water will clear the lines. I know. I've done lots of plumbing over the years. No, I'm NOT a plumber, but I have been working with pipes ever since I was seven. That was over 50 years ago.
Hope this helps.
'av'a good new year mate.
