Depending on what your doing with it, abs is alot louder than pvc. You can hear water running through it.

didn't know that

 

[terrors r us]

if it's a drain system then abs is good but if this is part of a system with a pump on it(Pressure), then abs is bad....pvc is the way to go!!!!

They have the flexible pvc hose/pipe also. It is much easier to work with. It is sometimes called spa hose. It's standard pvc sizes. You should prime the hose and fittings before glueing. Ewing Irrigation carries them.

What are you planning on doing with the ABS?

Abs is rated for drain situations. Not for pressure related ones.

If planning to use ABS for caves, most ABS floats.
