Yeah I figured there might be a water restrictor.
I always check all new equipment and fixtures for water restrictors and remove them.
I didn't see any on the water heater.
Since I did install clean outs on the inlet and outlets of the water heater I can turn off the water and open the clean outs and send my probe camera in there to see.
It has been a year or 2 since that hot water line has been used much, so maybe the inlet screen is clogging with rust.
