MAGNAPLAST KGEM External Sewerage Pipe with Socket, Foam Core, Class B, 200mm, 2m

The MAGNAPLAST KGEM external sewerage pipe is a high-quality solution engineered for robust underground drainage and sewage infrastructure. Featuring a specialized foam core construction, this 200mm diameter pipe offers an optimal balance between structural integrity and weight. Classified as Class B, it is designed to withstand significant external loads, making it a reliable choice for both residential and civil engineering applications. The integrated socket connection ensures a secure, leak-proof fit, facilitating efficient installation and long-term operational stability.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the MAGNAPLAST KGEM pipe lies in its advanced foam core technology, which provides excellent ring stiffness while maintaining a manageable weight for easier handling on-site. The Class B rating confirms its suitability for areas subject to heavy traffic or deep burial, ensuring durability against soil pressure and mechanical stress. Furthermore, the precision-engineered socket system minimizes the risk of leaks, promoting a hygienic and efficient waste management system that resists corrosion and chemical degradation over time.

Suitable for

• Underground sewage systems for residential buildings
• External drainage networks for civil infrastructure
• Stormwater management systems
• Industrial wastewater transport

This pipe may not be suitable for applications involving the transport of high-temperature industrial chemicals or pressurized fluids that exceed the material's thermal and pressure ratings. It is also not intended for use in exposed, above-ground installations where it would be subject to direct UV radiation for extended periods.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 200mm
• Length: 2m
• Wall thickness: 4.9mm
• Material: Foam core PVC
• Load class: B
• Connection type: Socket with seal

To install the pipe, ensure the trench is properly prepared with a stable, leveled bedding layer. Insert the spigot end of the pipe into the socket of the adjacent section, ensuring the seal is clean and correctly positioned. Use a suitable lubricant on the spigot end to facilitate a smooth connection. Once joined, verify the alignment and slope of the pipeline to ensure proper gravity flow before backfilling the trench with appropriate material.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required diameter and length for your specific project layout
• Ensure the Class B load rating is sufficient for the burial depth and surface traffic conditions
• Check local building codes regarding material requirements for external sewage
• Confirm compatibility with existing pipe systems or fittings

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the pipe is laid on a uniform, non-compressible bedding material. Avoid using sharp-edged stones or debris during the backfilling process to prevent point-loading on the pipe surface. Regular inspection of the system is recommended to ensure continued integrity.
