Can PVC and ABS be glued together?
That spells it out pretty clearly, yes? ABS to PVC cement is only meant to connect an ABS system to a PVC system. An example of this would be an ABS drain system inside of a home connecting to a PVC drain system just outside the building, or vice-versa. That’s the only place that this cement is supposed to be used.

What happens if you use PVC glue on ABS pipe?
The only connection that refused to come apart was the ABS to ABS; the plastic would probably rip apart before that connection would fail. Again, an ABS to PVC glued connection isn’t technically correct, but this connection is highly unlikely to fail.
Does ABS glue need primer?
Primer: Primer is used to clean and soften the surface of the plastic to ensure a good solvent weld. It’s used with both PVC and CPVC, but is not required with ABS.
