7.48 Gal (1 CU FT) = 1 FU Or 1 GPM of pumped drainage = 1 FU
The above equation that was submitted makes no sense whatsoever. Conversion of Fixture Units to gpm is non-linear; gpm per FU decreases as the total number of FU increases. I am a civil engineer, not mechanical engineer, but I know there are resources available either through International or local building codes that guide the designer.

Does the Ontario plumbing code require install of an anti-scald device for domestic hot water?
Yes. If you change any fixture or hot water tank you must install a valve that limits the hot water delivery at the new fixture to 48C. If you change the hot water tank you must either put a valve on all fixtures except the diswasher and clothes washer or add a mixing vavle on the output of the tank.
What causes your hot water line to spit and make a sound for a while when you first turn on the hot water?
there are many possibilities. If you had your hot water heater replaced or fixed a water line then it could be air inside your water pipes and should go away after a while. you could have air still inside your water heater tank and when you first run hot water out of a fixture it could from flow bleed into your hot water pipe. If you think it isn't caused by air then your fixture can be the problem either your valve seal is loose or your aerator is bad. If you can find out either its air or water then it would easier to trouble shoot.

It's probably not the faucet. It could be that there's an obstruction in the hot water side of the fixture, but it's more likely that the hot water isn't getting to the fixture in the first place. The easiest thing to check is that the hot water valve at the wall under the sink is on.
How do you wire a fixture that had two hot and two neutral wires?
To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.
