ABS pipe

Black plastic conduit

ABS pipe is rigid black plastic plumbing pipe made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

It's used primarily for drain, waste, and vent lines in residential construction.

ABS is lighter and easier to install than cast iron, and unlike PVC, it can be joined with solvent cement without primer: The plumber ran ABS pipe from the bathroom to the main sewer line.
