waste fittings

In modern plumbing, a drain-waste-vent (or DWV) is part of a system that allows air to enter a plumbing system to maintain proper air pressure to enable the removal of sewage and greywater from a dwelling. Waste is produced at fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and showers. As the water runs down, proper venting is required to avoid a vacuum from being created. As the water runs down air must be allowed into the waste pipe either through a roof vent, or the "drain waste vent" (DWV).

    MuPVC waste pipe should NOT be solvent welded to ABS waste fittings. Why?

    In reality though, it's done all the time. Most don't realise it shouldn't be done and the reasons why. So why? What are the potential problems and the likelihood of those problems happening over time if an MuPVC to ABS joint is made and brought into service for hot and cold drainage? Is...

    Anyone ever had any that has leaked? Had never seen any before and 3 of the course of the day leaked when tested. They were all well glued (both pipe and fitting). Could it be a dodgy batch perhaps? Never seen it before and I've on occasion only glued one part or not pushed the pipe in full...
