Question

Different locations low hot water pressure


Low Pressure inside house
I have similar problem yet with a strange twist.Cold water in Kitchen,vanity,bathtub and outside hose bib are just fine.
Clothes washer works like a champ.
Kitchen sink single control handle goes great cold yet when moved to the right, hot water has trickle flow.Vanity has good pressure.Bathtub mediocre flow.
Question: Why only some and not all ?
I have checked drain spigot at base of water heater.I made sure that all supply valves were open ( lefty loosey ).

WTF ?
At wits end

Different locations low hot water pressure


The problem is not in the main lines. It is in the branch lines,shut off's or possibly the fixture itself. What you describe is a combination of separate problems not just one problem.
