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.
The flow rate through a 2-inch ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipe can vary based on factors like pressure, pipe length, and fittings. However, a rough estimate is that a 2-inch ABS pipe can typically handle about 20 to 30 gallons per minute (GPM) under average conditions. For precise calculations, factors such as the system's specific conditions and configuration should be considered.
Abs solvent cement is used for joining ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) pipes and fittings together. It creates a strong bond by chemically melting the surfaces of the ABS material, resulting in a permanent connection that is resistant to leaks and pressure. It is commonly used in plumbing and pipe installation applications.
There is Black Iron pipe, made of iron. There is Cast Iron pipe, which is black in colour, made from old cars and their parts. There is black ABS plastic pipe, made of plastic. There is Utility pipe, also made from plastic.
If the ABS light is on and the brakes are locked up, it could indicate an issue with the ABS system itself. This could be caused by a faulty ABS sensor, a malfunctioning ABS module, or a problem with the brake system. It is important to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
No, ABS plastic does not contain bisphenol-A. ABS plastic is a polymer made from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, and does not use bisphenol-A in its composition. ABS is commonly used in the manufacture of a variety of consumer products such as toys, electronic housings, and automotive parts.
I don't quite get what you mean. -A vent pipe in a plumbing system is usually 1 1/2 inch ABS pipe and may extend through the roof, or may end in a AAV under a countertop.
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 pipe stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene pipe. It is a type of plastic piping commonly used in drainage, waste, and vent systems due to its durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. ABS pipe is typically black and is favored for its ease of installation and cost-effectiveness in various plumbing applications.
It's done all over Canada and has been so for many years.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) pipe is a black plastic pipe often used for sewage pipe.
Plumbing vent pipe is installed through a cathedral ceiling and metal roof surface there is no easy access into the roof cavity. In an attic after cut off the elbow whose female end contained the remains of the ABS pipe, glued on a short extension and new elbow in the attic, and glued a new plumbing vent rooftop riser into the new elbow.

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, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) pipe are not directly compatible because they have different joining methods and chemical compositions. ABS is typically joined using solvent cement, while DWV pipes can include various materials like PVC or cast iron, each requiring specific fittings and adhesives. It’s essential to use the correct type of pipe and fittings for your plumbing system to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
Yes, if you roughen up the ABS and use epoxy, not ABS cement.
You will either have to break up the concrete to tie into the under-slab main waste pipe, or you will need to build a subfloor high enough to run the drain pipes underneath, and then connect into the main drain above grade. Keep in mind that you will need some amount of fall (slope) on the pipe, and that you will also need to tie in to the vent stack, or run a new vent through the roof. This should be 4"ABS for a toilet, and 1 1/2" - 2"ABS for a sink or shower.
It's not prohibited in Canada.
