I have only worked with PVC pipe, but even though the glue sets up quickly, think it is good practice to hold the glued parts together for a tiny bit while it sets. I learned quickly with PVC...sometimes parts can back out/slide apart the before the glue sets. Good luck trying to slide it in after it dries :( Not saying hold the parts together for 5 minutes...I find 15 seconds makes a big difference...like I said seen them slide apart like magic before the glue has dried...and it sucks to find out that the reason it wont fit is because it backed out a 1/4". Maybe ABS is a different beast, I don't know
So many DIY’er’s only put glue on the pipe…not the pipe and joint…while it will work for a while it usually fails long term. Replaced at least a dozen for clients of the older ABS. The new stuff fits so tight you don’t much glue or it ends up on the floor or bunched into to the fitting creating blockage eventually.
Thank you sit, nice short video. With Oaty premium yellow glue, at 20 Celcius (68 F) it seems to take way longer than a few seconds for the glue to dry. I didn't try to pull my connection apart but after 30 seconds the glue was still wet. I have new glue (bought yesterday). If you have time would love to hear your feedback.
Good video but the galv pipe should be pushed further in so as to clamp on the plain portion of the pipe otherwise water could creep up the thread causing a slight leak.
Good advice. Made the mistake of not marking before glueing, rotated an elbow fitting a tad too far, misaligned with the connection and had to do the whole thing over. That stuff dries so fast, you cannot afford to get it wrong.
Hi, is it dangerous for anyone's health to breathe the strong smell in? like do you have to wear a special mask to protect yourself from any cancer or no? And how long have you been using these products? I just wanted to know because the print on the can that I have is so small...and I did'n't see you looking overly concerned with the smell because you didn't have a mask on. I only want to know, because I "m thinking about using this product. thank you !
Just wondering if the cement makes pipe and fitting to get into each other easier. I am asking because I have all the pipes and fittings ready but dry fitting seems to be so hard. Just wondering if I need to sand paper them to make dry fitting possible then real connecting with cement would be possible. Thanks for any feedbak.
I received my IKEA cabinets 1 week before business shutdown and I'm doing the kitchen installation on my own. Thank you for the video! For an old abs pipe (I'm just extending it), do you have to scrape its surface clean before applying the glue? sos pad is ok? thanks again
Is that really necessary on a drain tho? Not a pressurized line. I torqued mine to 60" lbs and I think it stripped because now it keeps coming loose. 😢 Maybe don't risk it if you don't need to. I've heard others say just tighten it until it doesn't leak.
The pipe from our well is leaking at, or very close to, the 90 degree fitting just at the inside face of the concrete block basement wall. As I cannot access the pipe from the well head (it is buried several fee), I thought to cut a coupling so I might get it around the black pipe without having to cut the black pipe. Then, I thought, with enough Transition Cement I might be able to fuse the coupling to the black pipe (securing it with a hose clamp until set) effectively sealing the leak. My problem is, I am not sure what this black pipe (1-3/16O.D.) is made of because I am told ABS is only used for low pressure (drainage venting) situations. Is there a way to tell if it is ABS?
I was in a difficult situation so after I applied the solvent/glue I had a problem and could not get the fittings to line up. Can I reapply solvent and take it from there ?
Its never that easy for me. the parts dont really fit even without the glue so if i do both fittings it goes on 2mm and stops hard..... so i just do the male end with the cement and cram it in hard, then tap around edge with hammer till in...... so tight damn.
You can, in order to help the edge not push the cement away from the joint. Some say it's critical to do this, others say it's a waste of time. Charlotte (ABS manufacturer) says to do it with their pipes, if that helps.
Totally wrong,i work with abs every day,, for a permanent join clean,sandpaper, wipe over with acetone( abs solvent) immediatly apply the glue and fit.asap... this way is permanent and takes full pressure, without an acetone clean it can fail,, his way is only for drains etc
Hello! Two questions, if you have time: 1. Let's say one is assembling a waste line ABS system that is mostly 4" pipe + fittings. Is the cleaner required prior to using the cement glue in this case? I am guessing that this is not necessary because the drain system is not under constant pressure from fluids, although it could theoretically be in an event where there is a clog. 2. I am assuming that sanding is recommended to give the ABS glue something to bite into (much like when using J-B Weld)? But is this also necessary for drain pipes? I typically see most plumbers just clean, cut, deburr, and glue ABS drain pipes. Thanks in advance!
So, what glue are you using? I'm kinda "plumbing retarded" and I quickly watched your video while standing in isle at lowes. I saw you used a yellow can so bought that. Turns out I was wrong, needed the black can. My bad but now I gotta cut the ceiling out and fix the issue. Only thing I hate more than plumbing is dry wall. "F" my life. For anybody who reads this use the blue bottle for black pipe.
Just wanted a review to make sure I'm not missing something. Brief, thorough, and to the point. Thanks!
Good video. Particularly appreciate the tip about doing the joint piece first!
Thank you for this video. Nothing too gichy - just information. Helped me a lot.
Great straight forward tutorial. Appreciate it.

Always do this when doing glue connections on any pipe.

Watched many abs videos.
Yours is the best!
Dryfitting everything first helps. Sandpaper on your burrs and marking the fittings in place before gluing is great when dealing with assembly.
Stove pipe fitter cant figure take outs are you a journeyman ? Likes to travel lmao
Good advice. Made the mistake of not marking before glueing, rotated an elbow fitting a tad too far, misaligned with the connection and had to do the whole thing over. That stuff dries so fast, you cannot afford to get it wrong.
I absolutely agree: If it won't slide in, just use a little spit...in like Flynn.
Outstanding, simple, great teaching video. Here's a Pro...pay attention. Thx!
How's your golf game Bobby? Thanks for sharing.
This man has taught me so much!

Great video. Wish i had a grandpa like you when i was a kid
There is a specification to torque no-hub bands to 60 in-lbs. Plumbers use a torque wrench made for this use.
Would this be for any diameter no-hub couplings, such as 2" or 4"?
Is that really necessary on a drain tho? Not a pressurized line. I torqued mine to 60" lbs and I think it stripped because now it keeps coming loose. 😢 Maybe don't risk it if you don't need to. I've heard others say just tighten it until it doesn't leak.
i would use some sort of lubricant such as dish soap or even water instead of spit, other than that the instructions in the video are good.
Then it wont seal..the glue is the lube
@@TheDigger06 I was referring to the spit on the fernco.
Awesome. Just what I needed to see. Thanks.
Perfect video
Need to hold those joints together to prevent push out
谢谢你的视频😊

Abs can be used at domestic water pressure, i work in water treatment
thanks!!
The only glue we have here is black abs glue...same thing as the yellow?
Any point in using the Oatey ABS cleaner ?
no point, just wipe it with a rag, as long as it says ABS Cement you should be good
Thanks! Just what I needed to know.
Good
Thanks!
To the point
Very useful info. Thanks.
Rocket Rider Although I would chamfer (?) the edge of the straight pipe.
I was in a difficult situation so after I applied the solvent/glue I had a problem and could not get the fittings to line up. Can I reapply solvent and take it from there ?
Not a good idea, cement needs to bond directly to ABS not ABS and dired out cement
Thank you! This is helpful.
The 4 inch ABS is a tighter fit: have a mallot on hand also forget trying to twist it,
excellent vid
Can i use pvc cement to join ABS pipe? Thx
Boar Hog no, you have to use ABS
glue. pVC glue is for PVC pipe..
There is a type that glues both.
Its never that easy for me. the parts dont really fit even without the glue so if i do both fittings it goes on 2mm and stops hard..... so i just do the male end with the cement and cram it in hard, then tap around edge with hammer till in...... so tight damn.
will black ABS glue hold together PVC pipe
No.... U need the primer and glue for PVC...
if i want to connect a 4" pipe to a 3" pipe is there such thing as a reducer coupling that goes ID of the 3" and OD of the 4"?
Yes
Hi. Does Lowe's or Home Depot carries those mechanical joint?
Yes, I was at Lowes yesterday and saw all different kinds in the plumbing section.
wondering how long the Tamiya ABS cures.. i broke my GUNPLA lol
Do you have to chamfer the abs?
You can, in order to help the edge not push the cement away from the joint. Some say it's critical to do this, others say it's a waste of time. Charlotte (ABS manufacturer) says to do it with their pipes, if that helps.
Does anybody know when ABS is ideal over PVC?
Cold weather areas.
thanks Mr
i see a leak through the threads.
what a mess. pushed all that glue right inside the pipe
What if my mouth is dry and no saliva what do I do next
Laundry soap
2:13??? I guess it is the cheap way to handle the rubber.
Totally wrong,i work with abs every day,, for a permanent join clean,sandpaper, wipe over with acetone( abs solvent) immediatly apply the glue and fit.asap... this way is permanent and takes full pressure, without an acetone clean it can fail,, his way is only for drains etc

Little bit of spit lol that's what she said
"Use a bit of spit" lmao, use some grease.
Com to catch me on facebook...Charles Dumouchel from of you in memories hôtel
Les Tounus
it's not abstract art.. calm down lol
little spit and you are in business
