    First I would have to check back my plumbing literature and see what avp and cvp means because I don't remember those . I know p.v.c. and a.b.s. As far as I know there is no codes that don't allow a.b.s. and p.v.c.connections.Of course there is also cast iron drainage to consider.They can all be connected if allowed by the codes of the state or county.

    "As far as I know there is no codes that dont allow a.b.s. and p.v.c.connections". Actually, most codes DO NOT allow ABS and PVC to be directly joined, you use a transition fitting. However, I too have never heard of AVP or CVP piping. Where are you located and what is your source for the nomenclature?

    I know that some kind of a transition fitting would be needed to join the two although I may not have mentioned in . When I said that it is OK to join them I did not mean without a transition fitting, I meant the idea of connecting them at all. I get my information from reading plumbing books and now from on-line sources.

    "I get my information from reading plumbing books and now from on-line sources"...

    I don't get that, Frankiedon? You're posting on a plumbing webpage where there are 5-6 licensed plumbers that answer questions from this site reliably every single day and we do it from years and years of experience and you want to offer advice by perusing plumbing books and online literature instead of leaving it to the guys with years and years of hands on experience? Sorry, but I just don't get that at all...

    Your right there Mark. And, what they read in the books they think that it's the God's honest truth. They believe every typo to be the truth. Whereas all the experience that you have had over the years don't mean squat to some people.
    I run into the same crap, I just found this site & I like it because they offer advice from all walks of life. Myself, now that I am retired I have a little bit of time on my hands to look at sites like these & offer my two cents worth. If you want to take my advise or not it's entirely up to you, the way I feel.

    Welcome to AMHD. Yes, this is a great site but ease up a little bit. Remember our "customers" come from all different walks of life, have different backgrounds. They have different skills and often no skills as far as plumbing is concerned. No different from the real life that I'm sure you have encountered.
    I have a "customer" that is a great lawyer but doesn't doesn't know how to open up a pair of channel locks. Recently had another one that had me to "install" a small yard fountain. One of those plastic fountains about 16" high you sit in you flower garden. You pour a bucket of water in the bottom, sit the little aquarium pump in it a plug it in.

    Things are no different here, but remember they are our " high you sit in you flower garden. You pour a bucket of water in the bottom, sit the little aquarium pump in it a plug it in.

    Things are no different here, but remember they are our ".
