MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell 200 mm foam-core class C, 1 m

MAGNAPLAST external sewer pipe KGEM with bell 200 mm foam-core class C, 1 m is a rigid underground drainage pipe engineered for external sewer, stormwater and drainage systems. The pipe has a 200 mm nominal diameter, a foam-core (foam-filled) wall construction and a bell end for simple socketed jointing. Classified as class C, it is designed to withstand moderate surface loads typical for external installations while the foam core improves thermal insulation and dimensional stability.

Advantages

The foam-core construction provides enhanced rigidity and improved thermal insulation compared with solid-walled alternatives, reducing the risk of deformation under load and limiting heat transfer to the transported media. The bell end ensures straightforward assembly without special tools, yielding secure connections and faster installation. The product’s class C rating verifies suitability for typical external underground applications where a defined load-bearing capacity is required.

Suitable for

• External underground sewer installations
• Stormwater and surface drainage systems
• Gravity sewer lines in residential and light commercial sites
• Areas requiring class C load-bearing performance

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 200 mm
• Length: 1 m
• Wall type: foam-core (foam-filled)
• Connection type: bell (socket) joint
• Load classification: class C
• Application: external underground sewer, drainage, stormwater

How to use

Before installation, ensure trench depth and bedding meet local regulations and that the trench is free of sharp objects and standing water. Place a level bedding layer and lay pipes with bell ends oriented correctly for assembly. Apply the manufacturer-recommended gasket or sealing material into the bell socket if required, then insert the plain end of the next pipe fully into the bell until the joint reaches its designed stop. Verify alignment, maintain proper gradient for gravity flow and backfill with appropriate material in layers, compacting to the specifications for class C installations.

Usage recommendations

Store pipes on a flat, stable surface to prevent bending. Protect bell sockets from dirt and damage during handling. Follow local standards for burial depth, bedding materials and compaction to achieve the intended class C performance. Use compatible sealing gaskets and accessories recommended by the manufacturer for long-term watertight joints.
