ABS piping

I'm making a new res and I'm thinking of making one from ABS pipe. However, I'm concerned mainly with the leeching of the materiel into my water supply and the chemical resistance of the glue that is used for sealing joints. I am going to be using a fairly strong mix of various coolants (comprised mainly of alcohol-based products) and chemical resistence is a must for my res to function well.

teflon tape in the thread should be fine against the alchohal.

Or you could use PVC. I can personaly vouch for PVC pipe and glue in watercooling systems with various water additives. LINKY

abs and pvc pipes are food safe, so they should not leach out anything, I had an abs res for about a year, went to s different pvc design, and i never noticed a leaching affect, even though i ran tap water with ~15% anti frezze in my setup.

my rig i'm running right now has a 1.5 ft 3"dia chunk of pvc for a res, and it mounted sideways, so it traps the air, and every thing, and if you fill your loop up real good, you hear nothing!

all in all, i've had no problems
