 Kitchen faucet pressure
Author: bawebfoot (WA)

Have a single lever kitchen fawcett. Good pressure on cold but the hot water side is low.Do I have a partial plugled hot water line ( old plumbing is galvanize ) or is the fawcett bad? Also have a hot water dispenser on the sink that the pressure is low too.

I would remove the supply line at the hot side shut off valve, place a bucket under it and turn it on with your hand over the outlet to check where the flow restriction is.

Good Luck. Insulate your hot piping, although costly, it will pay you back every day.

i usually find things jammed into the stop valve under the sink, or the supply tube..

take the valve off and clean/replace...then put the valve back on and run the water into a bucket until the rust stops

save for a repipe...a few thousand is typical
