Is it code were you are to use black ABS ? Here in NJ all houses new that is use the white PVC pipe.

@67tr876 I think you're allowed to use PVC, but most plumbers use ABS. I think that the building codes, but I don't know for a fact allow you to use either one. I'm in Southern California.

I am a plumber of 25 + years and I have seen many mistakes in these videos on youtube. You can never have enough knowledge in building. Don't believe everything you see on youtube,

in response to the abs/pvc. The local codes obviously reign supreme, but abs is used most in single dwelling homes because it is cheap. Most piping will comply with building codes but its the fire codes that determine the kind of pipe you use, at least in Canada.
