Is there one that exsists? My shower base is PVC equiped but my waste lines are ABS and I dont have room for a fernco...
I think one of the easiest and most overlooked ways of connecting PVC and ABS with with male and female adaptors. Inexpensive, solid and easy to do.
You can go on about the impossibility of joining PVC to ABS all you want, but since our gas utility used the transition cement to join their old high pressure ABS to their newer PVC lines and did not have any failures or problems with it, I think an unpressurized DWV system would survive just fine.
They do not have to conform to any code, and the question was not whether it was legal or not, but whether it would work.
Personally I would have a much higher regard for PVC ABS Transition Cement Than I would have for an AAV regardless of what is allowed in the Ill. Code...
This would be the stuff!
However, Its use may not be allowed under your local code. Check with your local inspector. Some places will only allow a banded coupling such as the Fernco Proflex. Mission, Or, No-Hub for joining the dissimmilar plastic pipes. Your best course of action is of course to get an ABS shower drain.
This is awkward, but...
