Fiberglass for safe pans or liners shall be equally durable to which two materials?

  1. Aluminum and Stainless Steel

  2. Galvanized Steel and PVC

  3. ABS and Copper

  4. ABS and PVC

The correct answer is: ABS and PVC

The choice of ABS and PVC as materials that fiberglass for safe pans or liners must be equally durable to is relevant because both ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) are well-known for their resistance to corrosion and chemicals, properties that are vital for plumbing applications. Fiberglass is similarly durable, offering a lightweight alternative that can withstand various environmental conditions and pressures in a plumbing system. While aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper are all also durable materials, they may not provide the same level of chemical resistance as ABS and PVC, especially in applications where such resistance is crucial, such as in plumbing systems dealing with aggressive liquids. Thus, the compatibility of fiberglass with ABS and PVC is significant in regard to the properties needed for effective and reliable plumbing installations.
