Magnaplast KGEM External Sewerage Pipe with Socket, Foam Core, Class B, 160mm, 3m

The Magnaplast KGEM external sewerage pipe is a high-quality solution engineered for robust underground drainage and sewage infrastructure. Featuring a specialized foam core construction, this pipe offers an optimal balance between structural integrity and weight, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments. With a diameter of 160mm and a length of 3m, it is designed to meet the requirements of professional civil engineering and residential drainage projects, providing a stable and efficient flow path for wastewater.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Magnaplast KGEM pipe lies in its Class B load-bearing classification, which allows it to withstand significant external pressure and soil loads. The integrated socket connection system simplifies the assembly process while ensuring a high level of tightness, effectively preventing leaks and root penetration. Its durable material composition is resistant to chemical corrosion and environmental stressors, ensuring a long service life even in challenging ground conditions.

Suitable for

• Underground sewage systems for residential and commercial buildings
• External drainage networks for rainwater management
• Infrastructure projects requiring high load-bearing capacity
• Replacement or extension of existing gravity-fed sewage lines

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for use in high-pressure sewage systems or applications involving the transport of aggressive industrial chemicals that exceed the material's chemical resistance specifications. It is also not suitable for installation in areas subject to extreme thermal fluctuations or where the pipe would be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 160mm
• Length: 3m
• Wall thickness: 4.0mm
• Material: Polypropylene with foam core
• Load class: B
• Connection type: Socket with integrated seal

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel following standard civil engineering practices. Ensure the trench bed is properly prepared with a stable, non-compressible material to support the pipe evenly along its entire length. Insert the spigot end of the pipe into the socket of the adjacent section, ensuring the integrated seal is clean and correctly positioned to maintain a watertight connection. Avoid using excessive force during assembly to prevent damage to the socket or the sealing ring.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required load class for your specific installation depth and traffic conditions
• Ensure compatibility with existing pipe systems and fittings
• Calculate the total length required, accounting for the insertion depth of the socket connections
• Check local building regulations regarding the use of PVC or PP piping for external sewage

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the pipe is laid on a properly compacted bedding layer to prevent uneven settling, which could lead to stress on the joints and potential system failure over time.
