low hot water pressure

Hi
What could it be when the hot water pressure is 1/4 of the cold?

Cool

The water pressure out of your water heater is directly related to the cold water pressure going into it.
If you have a cold water shut-off valve on the heater supply line, make sure that it is wide open.
(Another problem may be if you have galvanized pipes.)
Good Luck!
Mike

I had this exact same problem on my kitchen sink. It was easy - the shutoff valve under the sink was not open all the way. Check this first, you might get lucky.
