System 2000 no hot water pressure

Today I replaced the leaking hot water tank with a Hot water heater. Just didnt hook power to the heating elements. I just wired the old system 2000 tank temp sensor to the new tank and wired it up to the boiler control as it was before. Opened the valves and let water fill the tank and bled as much air out as I could. Even when as far as to bleed it out the hot water output. Circulator seems to be working fine as well. There is just no flow of water out of the hot port on top of the tank to the rest of the house. Yes I opened all the sinks in the house and nothing. Went so far as to try and use a shop vac to pull the hot water through the line. Nothing seems to be working to get hot water to flow.

    Are you getting cold water from the sinks? Is there a bathtub to try water from the spout? The aerators might have clogged on the faucets.

    Yeah I was getting cold water. Thank you for the reply but I solved my problem. I was a complete moron and installed a Sharkbite fitting with a reverse flow check valve on the hotwater supply. I installed it the wrong way so it was preventing the hot water running to the faucets. So 4 hours of scratching my head and testing every other component. Just before giving up and going to bed…i noticed the stupid arrow on the sharkbite pointing the wrong direction. Live and learn.
