Magnaplast KGEL External Sewerage Pipe PVC-U 200mm x 500mm SN8

The Magnaplast KGEL external sewerage pipe is a high-quality, solid-wall PVC-U component designed for reliable underground drainage and sewage infrastructure. With a diameter of 200mm and a length of 500mm, this pipe provides a robust solution for both residential and commercial projects. Engineered to meet the SN8 stiffness class, it offers excellent resistance to external mechanical loads and soil pressure, ensuring long-term structural integrity in demanding environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this PVC-U pipe is its exceptional durability and resistance to chemical corrosion, which is essential for underground sewage systems. The solid-wall construction provides superior strength compared to thin-walled alternatives, allowing it to withstand significant earth loads without deformation. Its precise dimensions and integrated connection system facilitate efficient installation, reducing labor time and ensuring a leak-proof seal that prevents groundwater contamination and protects the surrounding soil.

Suitable for

• Underground sewage and drainage systems
• Residential and commercial infrastructure projects
• Gravity-fed wastewater transport
• Areas requiring high structural load-bearing capacity

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for use in pressurized piping systems or for applications involving the transport of fluids at high temperatures exceeding the thermal limits of PVC-U. It is also not suitable for installation in areas exposed to direct, long-term UV radiation, as the material is specifically designed for underground burial.

Key specifications

• Material: PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Diameter: 200mm
• Length: 500mm
• Stiffness class: SN8
• Construction: Solid-wall

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified professionals following standard civil engineering practices for underground piping. Ensure the trench bed is properly prepared with a stable, compacted foundation of sand or gravel to support the pipe evenly. Connect the pipe sections using the integrated socket system, ensuring that the seals are clean and properly lubricated to maintain a watertight connection. Backfilling should be done in layers, compacting the material carefully around the pipe to ensure uniform load distribution.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required diameter for your specific flow rate requirements
• Ensure the SN8 stiffness class is appropriate for the depth of burial and expected surface traffic
• Check compatibility with existing pipe systems or fittings
• Confirm local building regulations regarding underground sewage materials

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the pipe is laid on a uniform, non-compressible bedding material to prevent point loading, which can compromise the structural integrity of the pipe over time.
