MAGNAPLAST Drainage Pipe with Geotextile Filter, Ø 71/80 mm

The MAGNAPLAST drainage pipe with a diameter of 71/80 mm is a professional-grade solution designed for effective groundwater management and soil drainage. Constructed from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and wrapped in a high-quality geotextile filter, this pipe is engineered to maintain optimal flow rates by preventing fine particles and sediment from entering the system. Its robust design ensures structural integrity and longevity, making it a reliable choice for various landscaping and construction applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this drainage pipe is the integrated geotextile filter, which significantly reduces the risk of clogging and sediment buildup, thereby extending the operational lifespan of the entire drainage network. The use of high-quality PVC material provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, ensuring that the pipe remains functional even under heavy soil loads. Its flexible yet durable construction allows for easier installation in diverse terrain conditions, while the specific design is optimized for high-performance water collection and transport.

Suitable for

• Subsurface drainage in residential landscaping
• Groundwater management in sandy soil environments
• Construction site water control
• Agricultural drainage systems

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is specifically designed for sandy soil conditions where the geotextile filter prevents fine sand particles from entering the pipe. It may not be the optimal choice for heavy clay soils or areas with high concentrations of large debris, where different filtration or pipe specifications might be required to prevent potential blockages.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 71 mm
• Outer diameter: 80 mm
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and geotextile
• Roll length: 50 m
• Color: Yellow and grey
• Filter included: Yes

How to use

To install the MAGNAPLAST drainage pipe, excavate a trench at the required depth and slope to ensure gravity-fed water flow. Lay a bed of gravel or sand at the bottom of the trench to provide a stable foundation. Unroll the pipe carefully along the trench, ensuring it is positioned correctly for the intended drainage path. Once the pipe is laid, cover it with a layer of permeable material, such as gravel, before backfilling the trench with the excavated soil. Ensure that the connections between pipe sections are secure to maintain system continuity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 71/80 mm diameter is sufficient for the expected water volume of your project.
• Confirm that the soil type is compatible with the geotextile filter provided.
• Calculate the total length required, noting that the roll length is 50 meters.
• Ensure you have the necessary fittings and connectors for your specific layout.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always ensure the pipe is laid with a consistent downward slope to facilitate efficient water drainage. Avoid crushing the pipe during the backfilling process and ensure the geotextile filter remains intact throughout the installation.
