INSTALLATION GUIDE
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION TIPS
Tools Required:
- Pipe cutter or fine-tooth saw
- Measuring tape
- Deburring tool or file
- ABS cement and applicator
- Clean cloth
- Pipe supports/hangers (as needed)
Materials Included:
- 3" ABS Pipe section (8ft or 10ft)
- Note: Fittings, cement, and supports sold separately
Installation Steps:
- Measure and plan your drainage layout
- Cut pipe to required length using pipe cutter or fine-tooth saw
- Deburr cut edges to ensure smooth connections
- Clean pipe ends and fittings with a dry cloth
- Apply ABS cement to pipe end and fitting socket
- Insert pipe into fitting with a quarter turn for even cement distribution
- Hold for 30 seconds to ensure proper bonding
- Install pipe supports every 4 feet for horizontal runs
- Allow 2 hours curing time before testing

As a plumbing contractor, I appreciate the consistent quality of this ABS pipe. The heavy-duty construction makes it perfect for commercial applications where durability is critical. I've been using it for years and have never had a callback due to pipe failure. The 10ft sections are great for local jobs where we need fewer connections.

Master Plumber
We've installed this professional-grade ABS pipe in dozens of commercial buildings over the past five years. Its chemical resistance and durability make it ideal for industrial applications where the drainage system is exposed to harsh substances. The nationwide shipping option for 8ft sections has been a game-changer for our multi-state operations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the difference between 8ft and 10ft sections?
A: Both 8ft and 10ft sections are identical in material, construction, and quality. The primary differences are length and shipping availability. The 10ft sections provide fewer seams in your installation but are only available for local delivery or pickup due to shipping carrier restrictions. The 8ft sections are available for nationwide shipping, making them accessible to customers outside our local delivery area.
Q: How does ABS pipe compare to PVC pipe?
A: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipe offers several advantages over PVC for certain applications. ABS is more impact-resistant, especially in cold temperatures, making it ideal for underground and outdoor installations. It has a higher temperature resistance and is generally more flexible. ABS uses a one-step cementing process, while PVC typically requires primer and cement. However, PVC has better flame resistance and is often preferred for above-ground interior applications. The choice between ABS and PVC should be based on specific project requirements and local building codes.
Q: Is this ABS pipe suitable for underground installations?
A: Yes, this professional-grade ABS pipe is excellent for underground installations. Its superior impact resistance and durability make it ideal for buried applications. When installing underground, ensure proper bedding with sand or gravel and appropriate backfill to prevent damage. The pipe should be installed with a minimum slope of 1/4 inch per foot for proper drainage. Always check local building codes for specific requirements regarding underground ABS installations in your area.
Q: How do I cut ABS pipe properly?
A: For the cleanest cuts, use a pipe cutter designed for plastic pipe. Alternatively, a fine-tooth saw or power miter saw with a fine-tooth blade will work well. Mark the entire circumference of the pipe where you want to cut, then rotate the pipe gradually while cutting to maintain a straight edge. After cutting, use a deburring tool or file to smooth any rough edges or burrs on both the inside and outside of the pipe. This ensures proper fit and prevents potential flow restrictions or leaks at connections.
Q: Why are 10ft sections only available for local pickup or delivery?
A: Due to shipping carrier restrictions and the risk of damage during transit, 10ft ABS pipe sections are only available for local delivery or pickup. The longer length makes these sections difficult to ship without bending or damage. For customers outside our local delivery area, we offer 8ft sections that can be safely shipped nationwide while maintaining product quality and integrity.
