    IS there a glue for ABS cracks?

    The website is like badabs.com or something like that. Used to have the info in my truck. What happened is back in the eighties they were melting old scrap pipe back into the pot and weakens the construction of the pipe. They were putting it in way up until the late 80s.

    My washer is too fast draining for my drains

    Also 6 or 8 inches for a standpipe is not enough.. Must have min 36 inches for proper flow... That said, sometimes it's just old piping. Or you could wrap duct tape around the hose the size of a tennis ball and push it down the standpipe. By all means NOT RECOMMEND it , but works

    Under Counter Tankless DV Water Heater

    I do plumbing in several north shore condos and one south shore cabin in scoits tract. Any gas tankless require a stainless flue pipe that you will probably not be able to get under the cabinet. Next choice other than relocation is to install another 28 gal and hope for the best

    Best PEX system?

    As far as pex is concerned, any product is the same. I've used zurn and viega myself. I would stay away from shark bite brand myself. Just never used the stuff. I do like the sharkbite fittings only for spots with no access.
