MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEL with bell 160 mm, foam core, 1 m

MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEL with bell 160 mm, foam core, 1 m is a rigid drainage pipe intended for external sewage and surface water systems. The pipe has a 160 mm nominal diameter and a one-metre length, with a foam-filled core that increases stiffness while keeping weight low. A bell (socket) end enables straightforward jointing with compatible couplings or seals, making it suitable for gravity drainage lines and surface run-off collection in residential and light commercial installations.

Advantages

The foam core enhances the pipe’s structural rigidity and reduces deformation under load compared with hollow-wall alternatives, while the rigid outer wall resists crushing and mechanical damage during handling and backfilling. The bell end provides a standardized joining method that speeds up installation and improves alignment of connected runs. The pipe’s smooth internal surface supports efficient flow and reduces sediment accumulation, and its one-metre length balances ease of transport with reduced joint count on long runs.

Suitable for

• External gravity sewer lines for single-family homes and small apartment buildings
• Surface water drainage and rainwater conveyance systems
• Connection to inspection chambers, manholes, and distribution trenches
• Trench installations requiring rigid, load-resistant drainage pipe

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Length: 1 m
• Construction: rigid pipe with foam-filled core and solid outer wall
• End type: bell (socket) for push-fit or sealed joints
• Flow surface: smooth internal bore to promote efficient drainage

How to use

Install MAGNAPLAST KGEL pipe in a prepared trench with appropriate bedding and backfill material according to local installation standards and soil conditions. Align bell and spigot ends, apply the suitable gasket or coupling, and engage the joint to achieve a watertight connection. Ensure correct pipe gradient for gravity drainage, support pipe ends during placement to avoid impact or bending, and compact backfill in layers to provide uniform support around the pipe.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of sealing elements and couplings with the KGEL bell end prior to installation. Follow local regulations for burial depth, traffic loading class, and frost protection. Avoid using the pipe for pressurized applications unless specifically certified, and protect open pipe ends on-site to prevent ingress of debris during construction.
