The ball valves you have are the best for flow. Probably you have a
clogged up aerator screen (on the end of the faucet). Take it apart
and clean it. That may solve your problem. --Phil

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?
