No, they cannot be connected. There is no glue on the market at the present time that can glue PVC & ABS together. It's difficult, as after one tries to glue it it gives the impression of being solid, but under pressure it will fail.

Also, keep in mind that some Plumbing codes do not allow ABS pipe to be used.

How do connect PVC to black pipe?

Abs to PVC glue sold at home depot Color it aqua blue/green plumbers key term. GUMBY GLUE Depends upon what you mean by "black pipe". If you mean ABS drain pipe, there is glue for that.

The secondary question would be, "Why would anyone want do to that?"
