My hot water works coming out of all the faucets except the Kitchen. This is the first house i've owned and worked on, so i'm new to the 3-way connecter under the sink. If my thinking is correct, the main water pressure acts as a vacuum for the 3rd connection (coming from the hot water heater), and sucks out hot water as it comes. The other thought is that the 3rd connection is for the dishwasher. I don't think there is any way to tell w/o breaking out the wall... or asking more experienced people.

The hot water pressure in the kitchen sink is very soft, but the cold water works just fine. I have replaced (not by choice) the valve and the hose to the faucet; so my last resort is assmuing something is lodged in that 3rd (small, copper-tubed) connection. Because it is so small, i can't think of any way to suck or grab a lodged item out of there. If anyone can help, i would greatly appreciate it.
