Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "Do the vent pipe screens need to be glued in to the vent pipes?"
A. These vent pipe screens are designed to fit inside vent pipes snugly without gluing them, since they do not need to hold pressure. Some of these grates are made of HDPE and are unable to be solvent welded because the different plastic compositions are not compatible.
Q. "Can PVC and ABS be solvent welded together?"
A. No, unfortunately, they cannot. Solvent welding occurs when a liquid solvent is applied to both surfaces of two separate layers of plastic to be joined together. The solvent softens the plastic and allows the glue to penetrate into both layers so the two layers actually become one solid piece. Since PVC and ABS both have different plastic compositions, there is not a solvent made to combine or bond these two separate plastics together as one solid piece.
Please note: While we strive to ensure every product we label as "Made in the USA" really is 100% made in the USA, it is also important to understand that sometimes manufacturers make changes to their products, or for various reasons may receive components or materials that they would normally purchase domestically from an overseas supplier - and they don't necessarily let distributors (like us!) know that they've changed something about the product or where it is manufactured.
If you receive a product that PlumbingSupply.com® says is "Made in the USA" and the product states it was manufactured elsewhere, please contact us. We will happily replace or refund your purchase to your satisfaction.
