MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell, 200 mm diameter, 0.5 m, foamed core, class B

MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell, 200 mm diameter and 0.5 m length is a rigid gravity drainage pipe designed for external underground sewage systems. The pipe features a foamed core construction and a bell-end connection for jointing, meeting class B requirements for strength and performance. It is intended for use in runs between inspection chambers, for connecting to manholes and for surface drainage applications where a durable, jointed KG system is required.

Advantages

The foamed core reduces weight while maintaining dimensional stability and adequate stiffness for class B applications. The bell-end connection simplifies assembly on site and ensures consistent joint alignment without the need for specialized welding or socket forming. Manufactured for external underground use, the pipe provides resistance to typical soil loads and allows straightforward integration into standard KG systems.

Suitable for

• Gravity sewer runs in external underground systems
• Connections between pipelines and inspection chambers or manholes
• Surface drainage systems requiring rigid, jointed KG pipes
• Areas where a lightweight yet stiff sewer pipe is preferable for handling and installation

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 200 mm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Core type: foamed (cellular) core
• Connection type: bell-end for socket jointing
• Application class: B (external underground gravity drainage)
• Material: rigid sewer pipe designed for KG systems

How to use

Install the MAGNAPLAST KGEM pipe in accordance with local installation standards for KG sewer systems. Ensure mating surfaces and seals are clean and free of debris before inserting the spigot into the bell socket. Align the pipe run to the required gradient for gravity drainage and backfill progressively to provide uniform support, taking care to avoid point loads on the pipe. Use compatible seals and fittings designed for KG bell connections to achieve watertight joints.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, follow guidance on bedding and backfill specified for class B external pipes, maintain correct cover depths, and inspect joints during installation. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods before burial and store pipes on a flat surface to prevent deformation.
