ABS plastic pipe fittings are pipes made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. This creates a durable, black colored plastic that is impact and chemical-resistant. This material is a popular choice as it also holds up well in cold conditions. These types of pipe fittings are used for DWV (drain, waste, and vent) systems.
ABS Fitting Options for Your DWV System
