Hey guys I'm not sure where to start this job. I found a lead pipe going to stack. I need guidence on how to replace with pvc. Also should I just use retro valves on the water lines or replace them as well.

Thanks

You need to find a way to connect to the cast line, assuming you have one there.
I would need a better picture there.
And you should remove the galvanized nipples on the water supply, replace and install shutoffs for the lav.

Okay thanks Terry I will get a better picture for you later today.

I went to a plumbing supply and the guy told me to cut off the lead pipe all the way to the brass Ferrell and put on a coupling and put on the 1 1/2 PVC for the drain.

Also should I remove the galvanized nipple and replace with brass and add retro straight or angle stops which are $18 each?
OR
Should I replace waterlines with copper tee fittings and plumb copper stubouts?

Thanks
