Wood + water= ...... Make a mark where need to be cut it, pull it and use an small hacksaw.

Don't looks like a hose clamps, looks more like a SS barb pinch clamps.

Wrong thread.

Lavender oil? I know peppermint extract or smoke test. It can be many reasons for bad smell (wax ring, AAV, vents....and the list go on). Do yourself a favor, get a professional plumber to test your sanitary lines and vents and be done with it.

Why dielectric union? Just curious.

PVC tubular. PVC solvent sch 40. PVC sch 40 with union.

3' extensions raiser plus a pop up sprays= 4' tall (or more) so your AVB or PVB shall be at 5' (12" above highest outlet). I would use a DC or an RPz (install 12" to 36" above ground).

This should help. I'll try to login later to check your test after shut off 2nd valve (I'm in Florida and a bit busy with hurricane). Try the last one to flush any debris, if still dripping then a backflow certified shall be clean/fix it.

Please shut off the water using the shut off 2 in your backflow (#1 shut off is the one on the inlet and the #2 the one on the outlet) and report what happen.

Start simple, check the leak detector dial in your water meter, if spinning then call for leak detector. Also a mechanic stethoscope will help to listen if leak (NOT to pinpoint but confirm).

Phishfood, I think I saw the guy that installed those pipes. Looks pretty easy on the picture, actually with this weather [emoji6] [emoji106]

Pipe is cpvc and angle stop is compression (not threaded) Looks like you have some to cut it and use a new valve.

Tell me that you're joking.

If you can't cut behind the trap adapter and use a 45 pvc elbow, then use the tubular or 45 compression elbow in your picture. My diagram it's not the best one but will help you understand.

That's they way I learned or I was told when I started. R-5 in drain (clean out plugs etc) and tape + R-5 if water pressure. I carried in my truck others for different applications/scenarios.

Putty on top (not too much or you will plug the over flow) and pipe dope on the thread like spcwaters mentioned before. -personally, I like to use Rectorseal 5 underneath-

Welcome and congrats!!

Yes. Looks like Uponor pex.
