ABS & UPVC Glues, Cleaners & Tools

PVC is more flexible than ABS, but ABS is stronger and more shock resistant. ABS is better at handling severely cold temperatures, but it can warp with exposure to direct sunlight. PVC is thought to be better at muffling the sound of running water. In most North American markets, the two types are priced similarly.

Griffon ABS to PVC Transition Medium Bodied Green Cement is recommended for DWV-sewer applications. The green color easily identifies application to pipe surface. Its medium body has excellent gap filling properties and is easy to apply with included in-lid dauber.
