I'm sorry... I don't know what that means? Is that kind of pipe called "frost-free"?

Here's a picture of the rupture.

That's what I was afriad of. Maybe not a good time to learn how to sweat copper points?

Pipe burst - need advice (picture attached) We had a pipe burst in the basement. It was the feed line to the outside faucet. It must have frozen during winter and when we needed to refill our pond it blew wide open. Needless to say it flooded our finished basement and made a mess. Our...

UPDATE! We got the American Standard Cadet 3 and so far it is performing wonderfully. I haven't laid a wicked giant brick in there yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to report back on how well it vacates the premises in my new A.S. Cadet toilet. Thanks for the help!

Quick background - I have Cystic Fibrosis and my sister just found out she has cancer. We don't have children but we'll be watching hers for a while (they're 2, 4, and 7 years old). So we had to get a new toilet today which we really can't afford. But plunging our old one every 2 days - and...
