Hi
We just installed a new water heater and it works great. Problem is that the kitchen hot water is low pressure. All other faucets fine and all cold water pressure is fine. I figure an adjustment is in order. Any suggestions?

pawado, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
Shut off the hot water supply valve under the sink. Disconnect the supply tube at the valve. Hold a rag over the valve and turn it on and off two or three times. This should dislodge any sediment in the valve. While you have the tube disconnected, hold a container under the tube and turn on the cold water. Some faucets will allow the water to cross over and flush out the faucet and supply tube. (some won't). Reattach the supply tube and see if that makes a difference. Good luck.
