Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) pipe is a black plastic pipe often used for sewage pipe.
In 20 years as a carpenter in the Bay Area, I have never used ABS for drainage. ABS is commonly used for plumbing waste lines and vent lines. For exterior drainage you will find SDR35 or PVC to be the most common pipe used.
ABS yellow glue is the correct glue for ABS pipe. The only other glue to consider is Weld On Transition cement if you are gluing ABS to PVC parts.
No, they cannot be connected. There is no glue on the market at the present time that can glue PVC & ABS together. It's difficult, as after one tries to glue it it gives the impression of being solid, but under pressure it will fail. Also, keep in mind that some plumbing codes do not allow ABS pipe to be used.
Yes, if you roughen up the ABS and use epoxy, not ABS cement.
It's not prohibited in Canada.
No it is not ok. ABS is affected by the heat coming out of a dryer. The usual metallic flexible pipe is cheaper anyway all considered, so why would you want to use ABS.
