Pipe MAGNAPLAST Rura KGEL 160 x 4.0 mm, length 3000 mm, stiffness class SN4

MAGNAPLAST Rura KGEL 160 x 4.0/3000 is a thermoplastic drainage and sewer pipe with an outer diameter of 160 mm, a nominal wall thickness of 4.0 mm and a length of 3000 mm. The pipe is manufactured for gravity sewer systems, stormwater conveyance and underground drainage installations. With a declared stiffness class SN4 it is intended for trench installations subject to medium soil loads and occasional traffic loads and is compatible with standard KGEL fittings and socket connections.

Advantages

The MAGNAPLAST KGEL pipe provides corrosion-resistant performance and a smooth internal surface that supports efficient flow and reduces sediment build-up. Its SN4 stiffness rating balances flexibility and load-bearing capacity for common installation conditions. Lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation compared with heavier materials, while compatibility with standard fittings ensures straightforward jointing and system integration.

Suitable for

• Underground gravity sewer lines
• Stormwater and surface runoff conveyance
• Household and residential drainage systems
• Trench installations with medium soil loads and occasional traffic (SN4)
• Connections to standard KGEL sewer fittings and inspection chambers

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 160 mm
• Wall thickness: 4.0 mm
• Length: 3000 mm
• Stiffness class: SN4 (suitable for medium external loads)
• Material: thermoplastic (rigid PVC or equivalent KGEL material)
• Application: gravity drainage, sewer and stormwater conveyance

How to use

Install the MAGNAPLAST KGEL pipe in a prepared trench with appropriate bedding and backfill material according to local regulations and project specifications. Ensure pipe alignment and gradient for gravity flow, cut pipe to required length if needed and join pipes using compatible KGEL sockets or fittings with proper seals. Observe manufacturer guidelines for jointing methods, bedding depth and compacting to maintain the designed stiffness performance. Protect the pipe from sharp objects and heat during handling and installation.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, verify site loading conditions and local codes to confirm SN4 is adequate for the intended application. Use recommended bedding materials and compaction practices to achieve the specified stiffness performance and prevent point loads on the pipe. Store pipes flat on a stable surface and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if stored outdoors.
