I bought ABS pipe and fittings at my wholesaler–a place where I trust the salesman to sell me the right stuff. I asked for 2″ and 3″ straps for strapping pipe to studs, the C-shaped type. Opening the box yesterday I see that they’re galvanized metal. I remember at least a vague reference to ‘no metal straps on plastic pipe’.
Plumbers, what are you using when strapping ABS?

I'm no plumber but I remember reading somewhere that metal straps should not be used for ABS. I don't really understand why. Maybe it can crack it? Anyway to be on the safe side I used plastic strapping for ABS (got it at from HD).
