My kitchen sink is at the end of the water supply run. Bath tub comes first,
then bathroom sink, and finally, the kitchen. The water pressure in the
bathroom is fine, but it's bordering on anemic at the kitchen faucet. It's a
brand new Moen, and the same problem existed before I installed the faucet.
I wonder if the reason is that in the supply line, after the bathroom but
before the kitchen, there are shutoffs - the lever type that you turn 90
degrees to operate. Does that type have any sort of bad reputation for
messing with pressure, as compared to the knob type that requires several
revolutions to open or close?
The type of shutoff has no bearing on pressure.
