-
Size you can trust: 3 inch nominal diameter with an exterior of 3.5 inches and an interior of 3.068 inches, giving you a clear path for flow and a snug fit with standard ABS DWV fittings. At 20 feet long, it reduces the number of joints needed on longer runs.
-
Durable ABS material: Tough, impact-resistant resin designed for residential and light commercial drainage and venting, with reliable solvent-weld connections for long-lasting joints.
-
Code-ready and certified: NSF Listed, reinforcing that this pipe meets recognized standards for quality and safety in DWV applications.
-
Temperature tolerance: Rated for service up to 140°F, making it suitable for typical drain and vent scenarios in the home while keeping performance stable under normal hot-water drain conditions.

Precision fit for ABS systems: The 3 in. diameter and compatible exterior dimensions simplify alignment with standard ABS fittings, reducing installation headaches and leak risks.
-
Clear, consistent interior bore: A precise interior diameter supports predictable flow characteristics, helping wastewater move smoothly through long runs and branches.
-
Reliable NSF listing: Certification provides peace of mind for code compliance and quality control during inspections and audits.
-
Long-length convenience: A full 20 ft length minimizes joints, lowering potential failure points and saving time on larger projects.
Ideal uses and scenarios
- Remodels or new builds where a 3" ABS DWV run is required for bathroom fixtures, basins, or showers.
- Basement or utility room drainage and venting where indoor, code-compliant piping is essential.
- Projects needing a dependable, solvent-weld connection with ABS fittings to maintain a clean, professional installation.
Practical tips for installation and best practices
- Plan the run with proper gravity drainage: aim for a minimum slope to ensure reliable wastewater flow and vent function.
- Cut cleanly and deburr ends to ensure a tight solvent-weld fit with ABS fittings.
- Dry-fit first to verify alignment and joint spacing before applying solvent cement.
- Use the recommended ABS cement and primer for a secure, code-compliant joint; allow proper cure time per product guidelines.
- Avoid using DWV pipe for pressurized applications or potable water supply to prevent performance issues.
Whether you’re upgrading an aging system or laying out new drainage and vent runs, the Charlotte Pipe 3 in. D X 20 ft. L ABS DWV Pipe delivers a dependable, code-conscious solution designed to work alongside your existing ABS components.
