    Low hot water pressure in kitchen sink
    Make/Model - Moen with Charlotte piple
    Was out of the country for 8 months and on my return the hot water pressure in kitchen sink is very low. Cold water is fine. It's a one handle faucet. I've read several of the discussions but don't seem to know where to start from. People mentioned cleaning pipe.

    Shut the water off, open up the valve and pull the cartridge out. Check and clean the hot water inlet ports. Now, with the valve still open, turn the hot water supply on to flush it out. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tomn
