Abs pvc pipes

Asked Nov 12, 2005, 07:04 AM — 1 Answer
I'm redesigning my bathroom, and noticed that I have ABS pipes. The home depot don't sell any ABS supplies, but I was told that I could use the PVC instead. The guy over at Home depot seemed not to know much about plumbing. My question would be if I connect ABS with PVC is there any issues, or any specific guidelines in need to follow? I already bought the PVC cement but I found out that shouldn't be used to connect PVC with ABS.
Any advice will be highly appreciated...
