Hello, I see that you are a plumber by trade. I have a question for you. In the last 3 months, I have had two drain pipes crack right at the edge of where the pipe entered into an 90 deg elbow. The pipe is the 1 1/2 " black pipe. My house was built in 1972. Do you know of any issues with the pipes or perhaps the adhesive used during that time period? Thanks, Richard
I would need to see a photo but most cracks are due to pressure that shouldn't exist. Black plastic is ABS and can crack but overall it's pretty tough.
OK thanks. I was concerned that there maybe some kind of issue with the adhesive degrading the pipe. Richard
