Plumbing Drain Pipes – Did you Know
Although plastics were available at the turn of the 20th century, most homes built prior to 1960 used metal such cast-iron for drain pipes, or more rarely copper pipe. Due to metal costs, and improved availability of plastic alternatives, nearly all new drain installations use Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), or Acrylonitrile Butadiene-Styrene (ABS). Both pipes are non-toxic, resistant to most acids, alkalis, and salts, and provide a degree of protection from moderate physical abrasion. Additionally, both pipes may be used in drain, waste and vent plumbing applications. A key difference between PVV and ABS is joining methods. ABS pipe requires a single step glue, whereas PVC requires a two-step primer and solvent cement for connection. Finally, ABS materials are sensitive to UV exposure, and risk deformation after extended durations. Because of the UV risk, some local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) limit the use of ABS for underground applications, indoor plumbing only, or prohibit ABS altogether. Today, PVC is the most common type of residential and light commercial drain, waste and vent pipe.
