I have a new white PVC tub drain kit, and I need to install a trap and hook it into an existing ABS drain/vent. The tub drain has a threaded fitting (which the instruction sheet calls "PVC adapter") at the bottom outlet of the T, which attaches to the T with a "polywasher" and "compression nut" (these are the names of the parts from the instruction sheet, but it's just a basic plastic compression fitting), and allows you to glue in a pipe at the other side of the fitting. Inside the flange of this fitting it says in small raised letters, "PVC/ABS" in addition to "1 1/2", CRN, TUBULAR, F-409, and UPC". Does the ". Does the " mean that I can join the ABS directly to this white plastic with regular ABS glue?
