ABS Glue

Posted by Jimbo on June 29, 2004 at 13:25:30:
I just did some ABS plumbing work and didn't follow the instructions on the glue correctly - I put the glue in the socket only and not on the pipe. Nothing is leaking but should I be concerned with pre-mature failure? I did the 1/4 turn to ensure coverage. Funny, I read the instructions I just didn't see the part about putting the glue on the pipe. I should have known from my PVC sprinkler work to do this. The pipe is for a shower trap and drain line under slab. Thanks for your input!
