160mm Underground Pipe S/S 3m

Product Description

This 160 mm Single Socket Underground Drainage Pipe, available in 3 meter lengths, is a robust and efficient solution for both surface water and foul drainage systems. Engineered for underground use, this pipe supports gravity flow systems, stormwater collection, and sewer networks. The single socket design ensures easy, secure jointing to compatible fittings and adjacent pipework, helping maintain the integrity and watertight performance of the drainage network.

Made from high-quality PVC-U (or equivalent durable plastic), this pipe is designed to resist soil pressure, moisture, and typical underground stresses over its service life. The material is stable, chemically inert, and has a smooth internal bore to minimise resistance, reduce blockages, and ease cleaning or jetting operations. Many pipes in this class also comply with international and British standards such as BS EN 1401 or BS EN 13476, offering assurance of performance. For example, similar terracotta coloured 160 mm underground pipes are push-fit, kitemarked, and SN8 stiffness rated.

Key Features

• Nominal Diameter: 160 mm external diameter

• Length: 3 m

• End Type: Single socket (ring-seal or push-fit style) for secure joint with fittings or plain pipe

• Material: High durability PVC-U, resistant to underground conditions

• Internal Bore: Smooth interior to help reduce sedimentation and blockages

• Standards Compliance: Pipes of this type are typically designed to meet structural and performance standards (e.g. BS EN 1401)

• Load / Stiffness Rating: Often SN8, suitable for use under typical soil cover (depending on installation depth and conditions)

Benefits

• Reliable drainage performance: The smooth internal surface ensures efficient flow, less turbulence, and reduced risk of build-ups.

• Simple, secure jointing: The single socket end makes installation straightforward and helps maintain watertight integrity.

• Durable & low maintenance: PVC-U material resists corrosion, environmental attack, and soil stresses, supporting long life with minimal upkeep.

• Versatile applications: Suitable for surface water, foul drainage, stormwater systems, underground networks, or adoptable systems.

• Standards assurance: Compliance with accepted drainage and structural standards reassures engineers, inspection bodies, and clients of quality.
