Are black pipes made of PVC?
Howdy, I bought myself a little mobile home and have discovered a leak under the bathroom. The piping is made of black plastic. I'm sure I'll have to fix or replace the area that is leaking. My question is this, is the pipe PVC? I have some glue for PVC and would like to use it if possible. If it's not PVC, what is it, and what brand of glue will work? I'm currently replacing the skirting and would like to get this fixed before cutting off all my light sources.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. Mitch

Welcome to the forum
The black pipe is a type of PVC. Certain codes require using this type although I,m not sure on the reason. Both are interchangable with each other and you use the same glue on both.
