I currently have green gasketed PVC for my sewer underground (fairly new) going to old cast iron sewer pipe partly underground, then going into the crawlspace under my house.
I'm going to rip out all the old cast iron stuff and replace it with ABS.
(I've read about transitioning from one type plastic to another and using a compression coupling. There is already a compression coupling there.)
My question is if I can use gasketed PVC above ground or if this can only be used underground?
So should I transition from the green gasketed PVC to ABS below ground (and continue with ABS from there on). Or add a bit more to the green gasketed PVC to bring it above ground, then transition to ABS above ground?
Or does it matter?
