Pipe connector for external cast-iron sewer pipes MAGNAPLAST KGUG 160 mm (model 22440)

MAGNAPLAST KGUG 160 mm pipe connector model 22440 is designed to join external cast-iron sewer pipes with a nominal diameter of 160 mm. The connector provides a sealed mechanical connection suitable for external drainage and sewer systems, ensuring compatibility with KGUG cast-iron pipelines used in civil and municipal drainage installations.

Advantages

The connector offers a secure sealed joint that simplifies installation and reduces the need for on-site welding or complex sealing procedures. Its design accommodates minor misalignment and thermal movement in external sewer runs while maintaining a reliable seal against soil and surface water ingress. Constructed from materials selected for outdoor drainage use, the fitting resists common environmental factors encountered in external installations.

Suitable for

• Joining external cast-iron KGUG sewer pipes with 160 mm nominal diameter
• Civil and municipal drainage and sewer systems
• Replacement or repair of existing external cast-iron pipeline sections
• Above-ground and buried external drainage runs where a mechanical sealed connection is required

Key specifications

• Compatible nominal pipe diameter: 160 mm
• Intended connection type: sealed mechanical coupling for cast-iron KGUG pipes
• Application environment: external drainage and sewer systems
• Suitability: civil and municipal drainage installations

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cleaning them of debris, corrosion, and irregularities to ensure full contact with the connector sealing surfaces. Slide the connector into position over the abutting pipe ends according to the manufacturer’s alignment marks or instructions, then tighten any clamps or fastening elements to achieve the specified compression for a watertight seal. Verify alignment and sealing after installation and backfill or secure the pipeline as required for the chosen installation method.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector only with cast-iron KGUG pipes of matching nominal diameter and in applications appropriate for external drainage. Inspect seals and fastening elements periodically, especially after ground settlement or thermal cycles, and follow local codes for burial depth and bedding to maintain long-term performance.
