160mm Single Socket Underground Drainage Pipe

The 160mm single socket underground drainage pipe is a robust pipe designed to manage higher volumes of wastewater and surface water in buried drainage systems. Its larger diameter makes it ideal for use in mains foul water runs, soakaway connections and where greater flow capacity is required along the drainage network.

Manufactured from high quality uPVC, this pipe provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure and ground pressure commonly encountered in buried installations. The single socket connection features an integral sealing ring that allows simple push fit jointing with compatible 160mm fittings, helping to achieve secure and watertight connections.

Performance & Durability

Designed specifically for use below ground, this 160mm pipe delivers long term performance in challenging conditions. The uPVC material resists corrosion and degradation, helping to maintain structural integrity and reduce long term maintenance requirements.

The smooth internal bore helps minimise the risk of debris build-up and supports efficient flow through the drainage system. When installed correctly as part of a compliant layout, the pipe contributes to reliable waste and surface water management over many years.

Installation

Prior to installation, ensure the trench is prepared with suitable granular bedding for support. Position the pipe with the plain end facing the direction of flow and push the socketed end over the adjoining pipe or fitting with a suitable sealing ring. Ensure pipes are aligned and maintain correct fall gradients to support effective drainage. Backfill around the pipe with granular material and complete with final backfill in line with underground drainage installation standards.
