pvc/abs glue
I once had a joint to make a joint, the fitting was correct for the two
materials, but one side was PVC and the other was ABS, I had no idea how to glue the joint, and didn't know what type of glue to join the two dissimilar materials. Since it was a weekend and only one non-critical joint, I used ABS solvent glue on the ABS part and PVC solvent glue on the PVC part and put them together while both were wet. The glues worked and the joint has held for the past 25 years. "SteveB" wrote in message ... I have some abs pipe. I am trying to find some abs pipe extenders. I have bought some before at the pool place, but now all they have is pvc. All I am finding online is pvc. Still looking for ABS, and have e mails into quite a few companies. How well does the glue available for gluing abs to pvc work? Steve |

Steve The green glue is the one to use. It is made for abs/pvc connections. The same cleaner can be used on both. |

I bought a can at HD recently Saw it today. It's in a yellow can. Steve |

If its the prodcut I used it's not a transition glue. I did use use it for PVC to ABS (before I found the transition glue) but not in a pressurized system. The joints held but I never really stressed them much. The Oatey PVC / ABS transition glue (green?) according to their website is for non pressure applications. cheers Bob |
