MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell, foam core, class B, 160 mm diameter, 0.5 m length

MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell, foam core, class B, 160 mm diameter, 0.5 m length is a rigid sewer line section intended for buried external drainage and wastewater systems. The pipe has an integrated foam core that provides improved thermal insulation and dimensional stability while the bell joint enables a secure push-fit connection between sections. With a nominal diameter of 160 mm and a 0.5 m length, this KGEM pipe is designed for gravity-flow installations and standard external sewer layouts where class B structural performance is required.

Advantages

The foam core reduces thermal transfer and helps maintain flow in cold conditions while also contributing to the pipe's stiffness. The bell joint simplifies assembly on site and ensures a watertight connection when used with compatible seals. Class B designation indicates the pipe's suitability for typical buried external applications under moderate loads. The rigid construction offers long-term dimensional stability and resistance to deformation in trench installations.

Suitable for

• External buried sewer and drainage runs for residential and light commercial sites
• Gravity-fed wastewater systems
• Trench installations requiring class B load-bearing capacity

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Length per section: 0.5 m
• Core type: foam-filled (thermal insulation layer)
• Connection type: bell joint (push-fit)
• Structural class: B (suitable for moderate buried loads)
• Material: rigid sewer pipe designed for external use

How to use

Install the KGEM pipe sections in a prepared trench with appropriate bedding and backfill according to local standards. Ensure pipe ends and bell joints are clean and inspect seals before assembly. Push sections together at the bell joint until fully engaged; apply the manufacturer's recommended sealing ring if required. Align the pipeline to maintain gravity fall and check for continuous gradient. Backfill in layers, compacting as specified to avoid point loads on the pipe.

Usage recommendations

Store pipe sections on a flat surface away from prolonged UV exposure prior to installation. Use compatible sealing rings and fittings specified for KGEM bell connections. For installations in areas subject to heavy loads or traffic, verify that class B is appropriate or select a higher structural class. Follow local codes for trench depth, bedding material, and frost protection to preserve thermal performance of the foam core.
