Hi, if I did not have 1 1/2" PVC but I have 1 1/2" ABS, could I use PVC for everything except for the barrel? And if it is safe, how do I glue them together? Thanks!

Probably, if not, look at Lowes or Ace Hardware.

I don't have those stores near me, since I'm in Canada...unless they are in Canada and I didn't know about them...And wow, you reply fast.

Even better- use threaded fittings.

Okay, so that won't use cement, right?

It will use cement, as you need to cement on the threaded adaptors, but you don't need special transition cement.

In Canada you might find it at a Home Depot, Rona and just maybe at Canadian Tire.
