My other home has a 123' foot run to the master faucets/bath/shower after the addition.

Pulling out faucet restrictors was needed on all three faucets and I drilled out the shower restrictor too. This allowed for a 120 second delay of hot water first thing in the morning. Also increasing the temp of the hot water heater helped.
No, I didn’t see any in connectors. I sure the new faucet has restrictions somewhere cause takes Time just to fill my hand cupped to rinse mouth of tooth paste. I’ll try look see if this model can be derestricted?
