Not familiar with gray ABS pipe, there is a gray PVC pipe. Grey PVC pipe is most often used as electrical conduit. Are you referring to water pipes or drainage pipes? If water pipe is it hot or cold?

I know of no problems with ABS pipe cracking at joints. Are the cracks parallel to or perpendicular to the pipe? Is piping properly supported?
