The reason some of that PVC isn't rated for potable is, I would have thought, the wall thickness -- that pipe can't be rated to carry "schedule 40" types of pressures. I've never seen ABS used for delivery of drinking water. I only see it used for carrying waste water. What is the reasoning for this. Is it the same as the non-potable PVC then, just the wall thickness and thus potentially incapable of distribution pressures, or is there a different reason? Is ABS treated or not treated, and if it is treated with something, how are we supposed to know, will it be stamped or somehow otherwise indicated, or is it just a crap shoot??
