ABS is stronger than PVC, its way more shock resistant... The reason it was always used on mobile homes is that it was much more durable during transport

You can glue that pipe under water.. it’s a good go to if you’re in a pinch but highly recommend pvc for over all drain rough in…

Has a considerably better temperature service range, stronger more impact resistant, single stage solvent/less prep. Its not more UV resistant however than PVC.​@@Plumberboi91
