PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both types of plastic plumbing pipes, but they have different properties and uses. Here's a comparison:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

• Color: Typically white or light gray
• Flexibility: More flexible than ABS, suitable for water supply lines
• Strength: Strong but less impact resistant than ABS
• Temperature tolerance: Can crack in cold environments
• Chemical resistance: Good resistance, used in residential and commercial plumbing
• Noise: Quieter when water flows
• Joining method: Two-step process (primer + cement)

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

• Color: Usually black
• Flexibility: More rigid than PVC
• Strength: Very strong and impact resistant (great for underground use)
• Temperature tolerance: Performs better in cold temperatures
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to many chemicals but sensitive to UV light
• Noise: Noisier when water flows
• Joining method: Single-step solvent cement

How to identify your plumbing material:

1. Color: Black = ABS / White or light gray = PVC
2. Markings: Check for manufacturer codes
3. Flexibility: PVC bends more easily
4. Location: ABS = underground / PVC = above ground
