Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ABS pipe suitable for drinking water systems?
Yes, this ABS pressure pipe is suitable for potable (drinking) water applications when installed and operated in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines, and when used with compatible fittings and jointing materials.
Can this pipe be used for hot water as well as cold water?
This pipe is primarily intended for cold water and compatible process media. ABS has a maximum recommended service temperature that is lower than many metal systems, so it is not generally used for sustained high-temperature hot water or heating installations.
How is the pipe joined to fittings and other sections?
The pipe is typically joined using compatible ABS pressure fittings and a suitable solvent cement. The pipe is cut to length, cleaned and prepared, then solvent welded to form a strong, permanent joint following the cement manufacturer’s instructions.
