Voltage 3600 hot water

[bja1234]

New to me 2012 Voltage 3600 has water heater below refrigerator. Plenty of hot water, but it takes an incredibly long time to get hot water to the kitchen sink. The kitchen sink is less that 6 feet from the hot water heater. Why is this? Thanks

Maybe it is part of an Arctic Package...the belly will be water heated during shower and dish time.

The kitchen supply line apparently goes back to the garage and then some unknown place until the hot water gets to the kitchen.

A simple by pass work around is very effective. You'll need some PEX tubing, two PEX tees and the PEX tool and crimp rings. The work around is easy and takes about an hour including clean up.

If we could only get the hot water to the shower sooner
