Is ABS and PVC glue the same?
None of the plumbing cements are interchangeable, each one is specific for its pipe. Each pipe is joined with its own cement. One exception is transition cement, used to weld ABS pipe and PVC pipe together. … The answer is simple, when I join ABS and PVC on an inspected job my inspector will want to see green glue.
PVC is more flexible than ABS, but ABS is stronger and more shock resistant.
