return 1 1/2" bulkheads Can i add ABS?

Awesome..... Thats what I was thinking.... As the plumbers wholesale and the "reef ready" bulkheads are from the same plant lol

ABS just has better chemical resistance, it doesn't leach anything, a simple myth.

Aren't bulkheads made of ABS?

[Hustler]

I was told from a few LFS the reason I pay double to tripple for those bulkheads is because they are made of "reef safe" abs...
but when you talk to say BRS they explain they all come from the same plant ect... I didnt even think this would be the same for piping.

You can get dark grey PVC.....

then shouldn't we be using a transition cement when tying into the rest of the plumbing (I didn't, but then I didn't use special cement for my Spaflex either)
