    Can I use a shark bite fitting over this?

    That is a frost free hose bib. I would not trust a sharkbite to properly seal on the crimped area. It would've been better to open the interior wall and have drywall to repair than to have to try and repair the siding. Friendly reminder to not leave hoses on in the winter.

    stuck pipe

    It's just siezed in there. Like twowax said use force, it'll come out. If not a shielded coupling and new tubular will work.

    What did you do today?

    Skirted toilets sucks to work on FYI. Not a fan of AS personally. Looks like a Cadet 3 Flowise skirted toilet.

    Venting help please?

    Can't be a vent if its in the slab. Not legally anyway. Is it not the shower drain? Drain from upstairs? Who did the ground work? If the washer trap arm is greater than 60" it needs a vent.

    Faucet Installation Issue

    Those are generally installed at the factory. There are usually orings to seal. We're they not connected on your faucet? Or were they leaking?

    Venting help please?

    Unless there's a bathroom upstairs you won't have a stack. Size is based on the fixtures draining into the pipe. Toilets require 3", most residential main building drains are 3". Toilets require 2" minimum vent, most everything else requires 1 1/2" minimum. You can't reduce the size of a drain...

    Outdoor faucet 1/2"X10"AntisiphonSillcockMPTXSWT no water coming out!

    I believe it's held on by the screw that's just below the cone shaped gasket. I have not replaced one. The legend website says that the new parts are a complete stem and cartridge assembly.

    My state allows M for residential water distribution.

    shower handle help!

    That's an old Coralais trim. The old cap is GP71969, but I don't think you can get the trim anymore. We've used part #1307346 before to be able to use current trim styles on the old valve. It looks like the old handle is still available on Kohler Website

    Boost Pump Issue

    @Valveman can advise better when he logs on next, VFD's are designed to be short lived. I would go with a standard jet pump and pressure switch, with a cycle stop valve all sized to meet your needs. Will be much more reliable.

    Outdoor faucet 1/2"X10"AntisiphonSillcockMPTXSWT no water coming out!

    Looks similar to a legend ceramic quarter turn. I think the legend number is T-550. Actually looks like Mueller B&k has them item #888-578HC for cartridge or 888-5** for stem. Website use search. Mueller B&K is a home depot sold brand.

    Looking for a toilet flush valve

    The only Fluidmaster dual flush I found that's not 3" is a conversion kit.

    Outdoor faucet 1/2"X10"AntisiphonSillcockMPTXSWT no water coming out!

    This may seem wierd but I've seen it happen before. Open the faucet like you normally would, then smack the faucet with a wrench or hammer a couple of times. The washer/plunger may be stuck and this can free it up. If that doesn't work there should be a nut in front of the handle that will...

    Better way to do this?

    The softener backwash is the bigger issue here. That is a direct cross contamination connection letting sewer gas and other contaminants into your softener. If connecting to your drain it needs to be an indirect air gapped connection, like what the hvac is doing but there has to be a gap with...

    anti back flow device

    As previously stated you need a thermal expansion tank. Why waste time and money not installing one with the new heater, or before if the heater will not be replaced in the next week.

    If you have a PRV you need a thermal expansion tank.

    Replacing burst outdoor frost-free faucet

    You're going to need to tighten it together in the basement. Mark the bottom of the hose bib so you know when the spout is pointed down. Use 2 wrenches, one on the CPVC SS female as a hold back keeping it from twisting and the other on the hose bib tightening it. Stop when tight enough and spout...
