    Low hot water pressure to kitchen sink after dishwasher install
    Ok, I installed a new dishwasher a couple of weeks ago. While I was at it, I replaced the worn out shut off valve that supplies the kitchen sink and the dishwasher with hot water. Since then I have almost no pressure on the hot water side for kitchen faucet. The cold water pressure is fine... so no aerator problems. I replaced the Moen cartridge (single lever with sprayer) today thinking it might be clogged and you have to have the special tool to remove the cartridge anyway. While I had the cartridge out, I flushed the line to remove any debris. I even replaced the braided supply line with a slightly longer one thinking the old one was getting kinked. Dishwasher getting plenty of hot water. All other faucets working fine in the house (both hot and cold). Kitchen faucet STILL has almost no pressure only on the hot side. Did not use anti-flood braided lines.
    HELP! I am at a complete loss!!
