Flow Rate for Kitchen Tap

[Ferdinand]

I have family to stay at present, and we have had a slight water pressure issue, which has prompted me to turn it up a little. the pipe is 15mm.

 

Just a quick qu ... what would a typical max flow rate for a kitchen tap be when everything else if off? it is a monobloc.

 

My first measurement was 8l / minute via the mixer tap with hot and cold flowing. I have now tweaked it and we are now at 9l/minute.

 

The  mixer tap set to cold is giving me 8l/minute.

 

Is there a sensible number I should aim for?

 

Cheers

LOoking at this page, suggests 8l from a mono bloc kitchen mixer:

Useful looking numbers and I love his quote on showers:

There is no such thing as a cheap shower.

 

That may be true, but it also sounds like a bloke selling showers.
