I have a problem with low preasure with the hot water on my kitchen sink only, every other faucet in the house is fine..
I have a Delta single handle faucet Ball type, when I move the handle to the hot side I only get about 1/3 to 1/2 the water preasure I usually get when it is on cold.
I have replaced the valves inside thinking that might be causing the problem, that did not fix it.
I was wondering if any one out there knows what could be causing this issue with loss of water pressure in the 1 faucet. :wall:

ganther, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
Are you speaking of the "valves" (water supply) under the sink? If so, lets jump to another possible repair. Disconnect the supply tube at the valve under the sink (after turning the valve off). Hold a container under the tube and turn on the cold water. Slowly swing the handle over to the hot water. This MAY purge any debris out of the faucet. While you have the tube disconnected, hold a rag over the hot water valve and turn it off and on 2 or 3 times to dislodge anything that may be there. Good luck.
If this doesn't help, you may need to replace the cartridge in the faucet.
