Replacing Briggs 7340 Rear outlet toilet

What about it?

I am in a situation where I can't afford a lot of money to replace the Briggs rear outlet toilet from 1980s. Got a quote from a plumber who asked for $1200 for parts+labor. It is a bit too high for my budget. I am considering the the following toilet: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Niagara-Stealth-2-Piece-0-95-GPF-Rear-Outlet-Single-Flush-Elongated-Toilet-with-Stealth-Technology-in-White-Seat-Not-Included-N7799/315448650 Will it be a suitable replacement? Ideally I could spend $600 total for replacing this toilet. What are my options? Thanks.

Copper Pipe drippings

What about it?

The house is from the 50’s and just noticed this corner pipe has calcified. The water starts to collect into a drop and has been dripping on the door frame below. Just kinda wondering if that piece can be replaced without replacing the whole pipe or if there’s an easier fix to put around it. Thanks in advance everyone!

Does anybody know how I can open this? My water softener isn't draining properly and I was asked to send a picture of this drain after removing this cone. Seems like I would have to remove this retainer clip but it just hits the frame

Help for a complete plumbing noob!

What about it?

Hi there guys, our toilet has been leaking and, from googling, I think it could be a worn out ‘spud gasket’? Would you guys agree from the picture? I just want to make sure I’ve got the right terminology so I can describe the issue best when I call the plumber! (And to prepare myself for the cost of the repairs!). Thanks so much in advance 😊

Is there enough “meat” here to make connections for sink lines?

What about it?

Cabinets installed, This was the most height that was allowable with the existing pipes . Is there enough space for a plumber to make connections either copper or pex? Off the bottom to the top of the shark bite is 1 ½”.. There’s maybe an extra ½” of vertical movement but that’s pushing it… Thoughts?

Rumbling when hot water on

What about it?

So quite recently there is a loud rumbling when I turn my hot water on. I've read it could be due to high water pressure, but its only just started doing it out of nowhere. I've checked my mains and can't see what I know to be a pressure regulator valve. This (photo) is under my kitchen sink, is the pressure valve? If not can anyone help me understand how to lower my water pressure please?
