The ABS DWV trap adapter features a hub x slip joint with chrome nut connection and provides a means for adapting a solvent weld connection to a slip joint connection. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) is resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging from sewage to commercial household chemical formulations and can be exposed to a wide temperature span. ABS is lightweight, safe to handle and easy to install. ABS DWV is joined by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco I018080 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Nibco 5801-7-C trap adapter connect to on each end?
One end is a solvent weld hub that cements onto ABS DWV pipe, and the other is a slip joint end with a chrome nut. That is what lets you go from a glued ABS drain line to a slip joint tailpiece or trap arm under a sink or lavatory.
2) Can I use this ABS trap adapter on a PVC drain line?
No. The fitting is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), so the hub end is made to be solvent cemented to ABS DWV pipe. For a PVC line you need a PVC trap adapter or a proper transition. The description does note ABS DWV connects to steel, copper or cast iron through transition fittings.
3) Is this trap adapter approved for commercial plumbing, not just residential?
Both. It is listed for commercial and residential plumbing on DWV drain, waste and vent systems, and it carries NSF/ANSI Standard 14 and NSF U.P. certification, plus ASTM D2661, D2665, D3311, D3965 and CSA B181.1 compliance. It is also UL Listed 94V-0.
4) What temperature can this ABS trap adapter handle?
Rated for service from -40 F to 180 F, which covers normal hot water discharge from a sink or lavatory. It should not be tested or used with compressed air or other gases.
5) Will this trap adapter fit Schedule 40 ABS pipe?
Yes, it is a Schedule 40 DWV fitting, so the hub is sized for standard Schedule 40 ABS DWV pipe in the matching nominal size.
6) Do I need to glue the slip joint side of this adapter?
No. Only the hub end gets solvent cement. The slip joint side tightens down with the chrome nut over a washer, so it can be taken apart later for cleaning the trap.
7) What color is the Nibco 5801-7-C so it matches the rest of my drain line?
Black, the standard ABS DWV color, with a chrome nut on the slip joint end where it shows under the fixture.
