All About Pipe
Acrylonitrile Butadene Styrene (ABS)

This semi-rigid pipe has pressure ratings between 80 and 160 psi, and is suitable for sewer pipe.

ABS DWV pipe is in both underground and residential plumbing applications, and is frequently used in mobile homes to provide gas service and as underground electrical conduits.

It has good chemical resistance, excellent impact strength, especially at low temperatures and maintains rigidity at higher temperatures. Maximum functional temperature is 180° for non-pressure systems.

It is not widely used in residential applications, however, because it offers few advantages over PVC.

Keidel stocks ABS pipe in the following sizes:
