I have an unvented hot water supply.
On my mixer tap in the kitchen, hot water only flows slightly less than the cold. However, I have just fitted new mixer taps to the bath and basin in the bathroom. Again, the bath hot tap flows slightly slower than the cold but it is really noticeable at the basin where it is probably a third to a half as much as the cold. It also hisses as if the valve is only just cracked open. It isn’t. I have swapped the hot and cold feeds over at the flexible hoses and they are both equal in flow. Both valves are new and fully open. Is it a faulty tap, is it normal or can I somehow increase the hot water flow throughout the house generally?
