Studor recessed box - correct solvent?

[Stereo]

I'll be using a Studor recessed box to mount an AAV to ABS pipe inside a wall. The directions say the box can be connected to either PVC or ABS using the "appropriate" solvent. Since the box is white plastic, I I am doubting that I can use ABS solvent. I called IPC who makes the valve box and the plumbing rep didn't know. He referred me to their solvent tech who needed to know what the box was made of. None of the spec sheets specify this. Does anyone on the forum know definitively what solvent I should use?

If it's pvc to abs I use primer on the pvc and cleaner on the ABS and then transition glue. We don't use abs in our area so it's not common, but that's what I do in that situation.

I've always assumed that the boxes are pvc and haven't had a failure.

At the box, it doesn't really matter. Green transition is ideal, but not worth it for one joint.
Make sure your AAV is permanently accessible.
