REDWOOD and I agree.
I had a leak develop in the pipe from our well - 1" ABS !!
I cannot find 1" ABS fittings anywhere!
So, I cut a PVC slip fitting pretty much as shown (except I cut at an acute angle so it would slip slide around the ABS easier) and used green transition cement from OATEY and secure the repair with a SS Hose Clamp. It has served us well for many years, so . . .
I have since been advised that CPVC fittings are much closer (in diameter) to the ABS than PVC and MAY (with enough PRIMER and CPVC Solvent) slip onto the 1" ABS pipe (that has developed another teeny tiny leak) I need to address.
I may just try the same approach with a CPVC fitting.
I wonder how many teeny tiny leaks there are in the hundred feet of this ABS buried underground between the house and our well! It runs under our deck!
I'm thinking about a 1" CPCV Compression coupling to transition from ABS to CPCV because, if I CUT the existing ABS and cannot glue a fitting to it I thought I'd need the Compression fitting to allow me to continue to draw water from the well. Cutting it is a scary move and a definite commitment!
Thought to share the LEAK LOCATION TRICK I used because I cannot see where the leak is coming from (old eyes, poor lighting and cramped corners) along with a picture of the OLD REPAIR mentioned above.
Any info on here to locate a 1" ABS to NPT Thread fitting?
