Can I use PVC cement on ABS pipe?

ABS to PVC cement is only meant to connect an ABS system to a PVC system. An example of this would be an ABS drain system inside of a home connecting to a PVC drain system just outside the building, or vice-versa. That’s the only place that this cement is supposed to be used.Click to see full answer. Accordingly, is ABS and PVC glue the same?ABS and PVC are not actually glued in the regular sense of gluing. The so-called “glue” is actually a solvent that melts the surfaces of the pipe and fitting for a few seconds. When you slide the joint together, the two surfaces blend together.Likewise, can you use transition cement on ABS to ABS? One exception is transition cement, used to weld ABS pipe and PVC pipe together. This transition cement is green in color so it’s easy to recognize. The other exception is all-purpose cement which can be used to join any of the three pipes to each other. Also Know, what is the difference between ABS and PVC pipe? The two most common types of plastic pipe, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), have small differences depending on the use, but the main difference is that ABS pipe contains BPA while PVC does not. ABS is always black while PVC is white- and easy way to see the difference quickly.What happens if I use ABS glue on PVC?ABS and PVC glues are solvent based. They melt the plastic and weld them together. ABS and PVC use different solvents. The plastic won’t melt properly with the wrong glue.
