You can also use "fernco" or nohub couplings where you have space. These will be shock absorbers as well as they are rubber and will dampen vibrations. ABS is not approved for use in some areas (for home use) PVC is available in several makeups here are some. Schedule 40, DWV which the fittings are for drainage and you can use schedule 40 pipe or Foam core pipe. There is also schedule 120 or thin-wall pipe. Schedule 80 heavy wall pipe. And then there is CPVC that is for water distribution and can be used for hot and cold it has water pipe size that corresponds with copper. All of the pipe and ftg.s are marked on the outside.
