PVC sewer pipe WAVIN 200 x 3000 mm with socket, class S SN8, EN 13476

WAVIN PVC sewer pipe 200 x 3000 mm with socket is a rigid, corrosion‑resistant sewer line element designed for underground drainage and wastewater systems. Made to the EN 13476 standard, this 200 mm diameter pipe with a 3000 mm nominal length features a socketed end for straightforward push-fit or elastomer-seal jointing. Classified as class S SN8, the pipe provides high external load resistance suitable for installations where increased ring stiffness is required.

Advantages

The pipe offers consistent dimensional accuracy and long-term chemical resistance typical of PVC materials, reducing maintenance needs in buried applications. Its SN8 stiffness rating ensures the pipe maintains structural stability under vehicular and soil loads, while the socket connection simplifies alignment and jointing during installation. Compliance with EN 13476 assures compatibility with standard fittings and predictable performance in gravity and pressure sewer systems.

Suitable for

• Underground gravity sewer networks and lateral connections
• Buried pressure drainage systems requiring high ring stiffness
• Municipal, commercial and residential wastewater conveyance
• Areas with frequent traffic loads or deep cover where SN8 stiffness is specified

Key specifications

• Material: PVC (rigid polyvinyl chloride) compliant with EN 13476 requirements
• Outer diameter: 200 mm
• Nominal length: 3000 mm
• Connection type: socketed end for elastomer seal or push-fit joint
• Stiffness class: S SN8 (high ring stiffness for external loads)
• Application: underground sewer and drainage use, suitable for both gravity and pressure lines where specified

How to use

Install the pipe in a prepared trench with uniform bedding material and correct alignment. Clean mating surfaces and insert compatible elastomer seals into sockets where required, then join pipes by pushing each spigot fully into the socket until the correct engagement distance is reached. Ensure proper slope for gravity flow and provide suitable restraints or thrust blocks in pressurized sections. Backfill in layers with appropriate compaction to maintain pipe support without imposing localized loads.

Usage recommendations

Verify site-specific requirements such as cover depth, load class, and local standards before installation. Use matching EN 13476 fittings and certified seals, and follow recommended bedding and backfill procedures to preserve SN8 performance. For long runs or changes in direction, plan joints and supports to avoid undue stress on socket connections.
