About ABS DWV Pipe Fittings

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) DWV Pipe Fittings are designed for drain, waste, and vent systems in residential and light commercial applications. Made from an opaque thermoplastic polymer, these 1.5" fittings offer high tensile strength, low-temperature resilience, and smooth interior walls that resist physical impact, chemical corrosion, and scaling. They are ideal for transporting potable water, slurries, and chemicals in non-pressure systems, connecting seamlessly with ABS pipe using solvent cement.

These fittings are not recommended for pressure applications but excel in creating durable, tight connections for indoor use in kitchens, bathrooms, and buried drainage systems.

Features of ABS DWV Fittings

ABS DWV Fittings provide a range of benefits for plumbing applications:

  • Chemical Resistance: Resists household chemicals like ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aqueous salt solutions, and mineral acids/alkalis, preventing damage common to metal pipes.
  • Flexibility: Interchangeable with solid wall ABS pipe, suitable for vertical, horizontal, and buried installations.
  • Durability: High resistance to corrosion and scaling, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Ease of Installation: Lightweight and compatible with solvent cement for secure, full-flow connections.
  • Non-Potable Water Use: Perfect for DWV systems in residential and light commercial buildings.
