2 Inch ABS Slip Cap, ABS Construction. This particular fitting is a Slip Cap for ABS Pipe applications and has a solid ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) construction. It measures 2 inches nominal size and is for use with 2 inch ABS pipe. The slip cap is easy to use and can be quickly installed by slipping on over the piping in order to end or cap off a line of pipe. In order to properly install this fitting, ABS cement is required to secure the slip cap (if desired) to the existing pipe and also to create a strong connection for other pipes and fittings in the system. Unlike PVC, ASB fittings and pipe do not need a “primer” in order to soften the pipe and create a solvent weld. This will save you time as you fix or construct your plumbing system. ABS pipes and fittings are used in a wide variety of DWV (Drain, Waste and Vent) applications. It can also be installed above or below ground due to its ability to be resistant to most acids, salts and alkalis.
