Hey guys, The folks at John Bridge's forum sent me over here when I asked about a shower I am rebuilding. The old Drain and trap must be replaced. It's black and I'm fairly sure it is ABS since I have run into that elsewhere in the house. I am having great difficulty finding ABS locally. (Neither the Orange or Blue box has it and the supply houses don't stock it..)
Questions are:
1. Is it against code to glue a PVC Drain, P-trap, and elbow to a ABS waste pipe?
2. If so is Oatey's all purpose cement ok/approved for use? and
3. If not is a rubber coupling permitted? I really don't like this idea since a failure under the shower floor would be a disaster.
Any direction on this one would be appreciated....Also a supplier of ABS would be handy if anyone knows of one in the north Georgia area.
Thanks
-Bill
