I recently plumbed the hot water in the kitchen due to a frozen/busted line. I used 3/4 cpvc (as opposed to the 1/2 that was there). I have water now but the flow is greatly reduced. Where do I look to solve this problem? I did use one shark bite the rest were normal 3/4 solvent joints. I have cleaned the strainer on the sink faucet and double checked to see that all my valves appeared to be open. The flow in the basement, where the water come from, is fine.

It is NOT the Sharkbite or the 3/4" CPVC, so you have to check elsewhere for the reduced flow, but we cannot tell you where that might be since we cannot see the rest of the piping or the faucet.

Is the hot water flow in the kitchen much lower than the cold water flow in the kitchen? How is the kitchen sprayer flow?
