doing that tomorrow, had a lot of interesting responses from plumbers/electricians I know. Some say never use it, others say no problem.

Tell you client (hopefully blonde): "It's O.K......RNC should really be white. The manufacturer didn't properly clean out the hopper after mixing a load of ABS DWV"...........

I can see your concern, relating to the solvent and any joints, but since the deal is done, just educate the client that this is not good and may be a source of leaks in the future. If your client is a betting man, he may decide to simply wait until it is a problem before he fixes it.

True, but the listing of the material applies under any circumstance. What would you say if this were EMT, Smurf Tubing, or perhaps LFMC?

As EMT and LFMC are steel I'd say no way.
Smurf tube being not smooth would also case a problem.

My only concern is the compatibility of the solvent used for the joints.

You mileage may vary.

The Mecanical Code states that the discharge pipe "shall be of approved corrosion-resistant material."

Is RNC "approved" for this use?

Will it work? Probably very well.
Is it right? Certainly not.

[Michael Larson]

Is RNC approved, yes
Is RNC corrosion resistant, yes




Just pulling your chain Jeff.



I never said it was right just not likely a problem
