I came across a good source for replacement 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" ABS drain fittings.

You will need a glue that is compatible if connecting ABS to Schedule 40 PVC. Here is a type of transitional glue to use:

Thanks. Everything in your trailer is going to be new by the time you're done!

Replacing the drains and vents were a necessity, not my desire. I had to cut out most of it to drop 2 tanks and replace the rear floor.

1-1/4” fittings are not readily available in my area. Some places have pvc pipe and a few bend fittings. The lone trailer center only has 1-1/2” ABS.

ABS pipe and fittings weigh significantly less than pvc variants anyway.

sounds like the vents were securely attached to the tamks, if you had to cut them to get the tanks to drop. I suppose it's good to hear they were securely attached.

Are you reusing your tanks?

Actually the holes in the tank are 1-1/2” male thread. The hole for the toilet flange is threaded as well.
