I am installing one of these in my laundry room. The drain pipe is ABS...the black pipe. What type of glue do I use to connect this to the outlet box?

Thanks in Advance.

Boxes can be made of CPVC, ABS, polystyrene, steel and probably others. I would check with the box documentation.

For example, see the last line in this link: http://newsite.oatey.com/Channel/FAQ.html#Q15

Actually, I would not use polystyrene myself. I hope the stuff that is used for that box is better than the polystyrene non-plumbing stuff I have seen.

I use ABS glue for that.
