MAGNAPLAST external sewer PVC-U solid pipe 160 mm x 6000 mm, wall 4.7 mm, SN8

MAGNAPLAST external sewer PVC-U solid pipe with a nominal diameter of 160 mm and a length of 6000 mm is designed for buried drainage and sewage systems. The pipe is manufactured from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC‑U) in a solid-wall design. With a wall thickness of 4.7 mm and a stiffness class of SN8, it provides resistance to external loads typical for underground installation in residential and civil engineering projects, and is intended for the conveyance of wastewater, stormwater and short connection runs.

Advantages

The solid-wall construction and PVC‑U material ensure chemical resistance, low water absorption and dimensional stability over time. A 4.7 mm wall thickness combined with SN8 stiffness delivers reliable load-bearing capacity for buried installations without the need for extensive bedding in standard conditions. The smooth internal surface reduces friction and prevents solids accumulation, while the rigid profile maintains alignment and slope during installation. The pipe’s uniform length facilitates handling, joining and installation in linear runs.

Suitable for

• Buried external drainage and sewage conveyance
• Residential foul and stormwater lines and short connection runs
• Civil engineering drainage and site outlet installations
• Areas requiring pipes with increased ring stiffness (SN8)

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Length: 6000 mm
• Wall thickness: 4.7 mm
• Material: unplasticized PVC (PVC‑U), solid wall
• Stiffness class: SN8
• Application: external underground wastewater and stormwater conveyance

How to use

Install the MAGNAPLAST PVC‑U pipe in a prepared trench with appropriate bedding and backfill according to local standards and project specifications. Ensure pipe ends are clean and aligned before jointing; use the recommended coupling or solvent-weld/jointing method compatible with PVC‑U solid pipes as specified by the installer’s practice and applicable regulations. Maintain the designed slope and check alignment during installation to secure gravity flow. After placement, compact backfill in layers to achieve required support and load distribution for the SN8 stiffness rating.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, follow local installation standards for trench preparation, bedding material and compaction. Avoid concentrated point loads from heavy equipment over unsupported spans and verify compatibility of jointing accessories and seals with PVC‑U. Routine inspection after installation and prior to commissioning will confirm line integrity and proper alignment.
