I scratched the pipe and it looks like copper or brass in color.

The house was built in 1971. Would it still have lead pipes?

If it's lead and soldered. How should I go about replacing everything?

I'm in the process of changing out my tub drain and not sure how the tee is attached to the galvanized or copper part in the ground. It doesn't look like there's anything that's attaching it to the tee. Like a slip nut or threads on the pipe. Also what would be the best way to attach the new tee...

I wire brushed it and still can't really tell if it's soldered on.

So I'm installing a new prv valve. My old one had failed and I had no flow. What would be the best way to attach the prv to pvc since it has metal threads. I've read where its best to try and avoid plastic to metal threads. I'm just a diy'er. Also where would be the best place to install a ball...

So update. I talked to the neighbor's and he said the prv is underground next to the meter. Now my question is I bought a new prv zurn 70xldu . What would be the best way to connect the pvc to the brass prv threads. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply's. I'm gonna ask the neighbor's tomorrow and the call the water company. Thanks again for the info

The only shut off valve is the one for the water heater and the meter shut off and of course the shut offs for the individual fixtures.

I meant I'm guessing there's a tee since its underground and I can't see it until i start digging the front yard up so I can see the main water pipe coming from the meter.

I think pic 2463 is the cold water coming off of the main water pipe coming from the meter. I'm guessing its on a tee and split off.

Nothing but copper pipes coming up from the slab.

Where would the prv valve be. I've looked everywhere for one and can't fine one. Could It be underground? There doesn't seem to be any access panel anywhere that I could find.

The only place where there's pipes coming up from the slab is where the water heater is. The only shut off valve there is for the water heater. I'm sure there is no water filter or anything. There's a access panel behind shower for the valves that's it.
