Well my son felt better if we removed the whole Tee and removed the threaded portion out of the water meter and ran a splice into the old line. We did and a couple observations. --The old line he dug up about 6 feet and it is to my observation schedule 20. Thinner walls than the schedule 40 I...

I appreciate all the feedback. I would have thought 2" would not be too much that the water circulation would interact enough. My son in reading this is now wonder if a repair coupling then would be sufficient.

My son's main water line to his house has a 3/4" PVC tee that branches off to an old sprinkler system not used for eight years. Its near his water meter. About a foot away from this line we found a shutoff valve that was leaking. He does not care about the sprinkler system. I suggested he cut...

Thank you for the offer to contact you directly. I found I am limited to 420 characters! Biggest issue is if I use 1/4" lattice strips to get the backer board over the flange, I have that much to deal with on the matchup to the drywall on one side. Seems like a lot. If you go above the flange...

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I really do! On the Hardie Backer board being 'crap.' That really has caught me off guard. In tackling this project, I have had to do some research and I was thinking based on what I read, Hardie Backer board was generally considered the best choice. Harder to...

It looks like for my personal preference to have the handle stick out where I would like, it looks like my stringer is about 1." However, as I readied myself to put the valve in, I...

Thank you. My big and only goal tomorrow is to get this valve in. I desire the valve handle to be close to the face plate so I will set it up as you all have suggested and see how much room is left behind it. It's looking like I will need to run my 2 x 4 through my table saw to take off a good...

Thank you. That is what I am trying to do actually by asking about those pictures. I am assuming that is what loudgonzo did there. I don't see on the plaster guard any min or max markings. Just the words Optional on one side and Standard on the side facing up. The plaster guard has two notches...

@loudgonzo. You are exactly where I am at. I have Moen valve and it looks like using a 2 x 4 would put the valve a good 1/4 - 1/2 beyond my finished surface. Looking at your pictures, are you showing the tile and CBU on top of a table? If so, how are you getting the valve to show the measurement...
