Key Information on ABS Pipe: Features, Benefits, and Applications
ABS Pipe Introduction: ABS pipes and fittings are constructed from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), a versatile thermoplastic resin. Discover the qualities and applications of ABS piping systems in this overview.
Features and Advantages of ABS Pipe: ABS Piping Systems are not only user-friendly but also cost-effective when compared to metal alternatives. Their smooth interior finish ensures superior flow, and they do not succumb to rot, rust, corrosion, or waste buildup. ABS pipes are resilient against earth loads and shipping, remain undamaged even at low temperatures, and perform within a temperature range of -40°F to 180°F. Lightweight and easy to handle, they save time during installation compared to metal DWV materials.
A Brief History of ABS Pipe: Originally developed for the oil and chemical industries in the early 1950s, ABS pipe gained recognition when Arizona builder John F. Long used it in a pioneering residential project in 1959. A quarter-century later, an independent research firm analyzed a section of the drain pipe, revealing no signs of rot, rust, or corrosion.
Ordering ABS Pipe: ABS pipe is available in 10-foot and 20-foot lengths, with the flexibility to cut the 10-foot pipes in half for reduced shipping costs upon your approval. For continuous 20-foot lengths, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
