Hello all.
I searched around first regarding connecting pvc to abs and found that some folks are ok with using transition glue, but didn't see anything about using a hubless encased in concrete. So, here goes.
My problem: I have abs drain pipe in a shower i'm remodeling. I'm on a slab in california. I have access to the complete trap, which I plan on cutting out and replacing. Problem: My drain is pvc and I don't want to wait another week to reorder an abs drain if possible.
So, can I:
1) put a new abs trap on and use transition glue to glue the pvc drain to the abs riser?
or
2) put a new abs trap on and use a fernco hubless to connect the pvc drain to the abs riser?
I will be filling up the hole with concrete, so should I be nervous about using the fernco connection since i'll be encasing with concrete, or just go with the transition glue and call it macaroni?
thanks!
