Hi, if I did not have 1 1/2" PVC but I have 1 1/2" ABS, could I use PVC for everything except for the barrel? And if it is safe, how do I glue them together? Thanks!

Probably, if not, look at Lowes or Ace Hardware.

Even better- use threaded fittings.

It will use cement, as you need to cement on the threaded adaptors, but you don't need special transition cement.

In Canada you might find it at a Home Depot, Rona and just maybe at Canadian Tire.
