PVC and ABS questions

[cavediver]

Hey,
Actually the Americans use shed 40/80PVC in their homes for pottable water, thats why when you get down into the US the Home Depots are loaded with PVC fittings. used for both supply and drain lines. ABS is not rated in the plumbing code in the US, consiquently they don't use it too often, nor have much of it in their local DIY (home depots) shops.
