ABS waste branch in walls?

[NotSureAboutDIY]

anyone know what the best method of embedding ABS solvent weld waste pipe is?

 

[doitall]

ABS is a pressure pipe, not intended for waste pipes.

 

[Gasguru]

ABS is commonly used for waste pipes where the fire resistance of PVC is not required.

I would not recommend burying it in a wall as you will serious effect the structural integrity (with a standard brick/block wall)

An expensive way to run a waste pipe.

And I say back to school for you doitall

Check out http://www.polypipe.com/POLYPIPE/pp_html/traps/trap_frameset_03.html and http://www.hepworthplumbing.co.uk/hepwasteprod2.htm

More commonly used on domestic waste pipework as its cheaper than PVC. I assume commercial systems will normally used PVC for its higher performance.

Even the page that says :

A.B.S. Solvent Weld Waste System Grey, Black, Brown & White (50mm Grey & Black)

BSI Certificate BBA Certificate COSHH sheet Product Dimensions
BSEN1451-1:2000 ABS Waste Pipe & Fittings Waste Pipe ABS

and the other page that says:


Waste Branch
Solvent-Weld Pipes & Fittings ABS

The BSI Certificate is for PP, and the COSHH is for ABS

Do you think I and everyone else has been solvent welding polypropylene for the last 20 years?

Been on the solvent cement too much methinks.

The BES link show PP pipe and fittings.

Click on the pipe and fittings link at the bottom of the standardsdirect and you will see ABS pipe and fittings

Yes is the answer to that, PP, UPCV/PVC-U & PVC
