    Quick Question - PCV or ABS to existing copper pipe?

    I think this is a simple question, but I am installing a new shower as part of a bathroom remodel. The drain pipe that is currently in place is 2" copper. The shower that I'm wanting to purchase has a choice of drain material - ABS or PVC. Will one be easier / better / cheaper to make the...
