| My hot water pressure at the kitchen sink is a bit lower than the cold water pressure at same location. (I checked the areator and it's fine) Hot water pressure at bathtub is fine.
Water heater is only 4 years old, kitchen faucet is a single handle type. Any info would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Make sure all the valves are fully open. Scale can break loose in a water heater and partially obstruct any valves in the line, but the small stop valves under the sink are especially prone. That is one of the reasons I prefer ball valves for stops that are not visible. |
|
| Is there a mixing valve in the single handle faucet that could be clogged or bad? |
|
| Problem solved! There was a big chunk of debris lodged in the hot water side of the inner part of the faucet. |
