abs/pvc connection
 

I am trying to find an abs pipe extender. It is a fitting that is uncommon
because it fits INSIDE an abs pipe. It has two male ends, and glues in. If
you know where I can find them, please post it. I've been to fifty places,
and so far .........

I found one PVC pipe extender here locally.

I have to cut into a pipe at a bad joint, glue this pipe extender in, and
put the pieces back together. This is how the solar pool heater guys did it
last time, and they charged me $125 for the fitting and half an hour's work.

The thing that is different is that the pipe stub stays in the T. Then the
new piece is glued inside the existing 2" pipe.

These are not impossible to find, except for me.

So, if I use PVC/ABS glue, how strong a joint will I have? Does the
PVC/ABS glue and mixed configurations of plastic pipes equal a good joint?
This has to hold very little pressure.

Thanks

Steve

try the pool people but ive been in this bussines for 25 yrs and have
yet to see what you want but then theres a first time for everything
try a fernco wrap in tinfoil to protect from the sun and it will work
Seen it many times but theres probaly a way to do it with a coupler,
yes trans cement will work just clean the joints
