The 160mm rectangular access pipe is a Magnaplast KGRE underground drainage fitting designed to provide convenient inspection, cleaning and rodding access within a compatible 160mm drainage run. This Magnaplast 22160 access pipe combines a 160mm underground drainage access pipe body with a removable rectangular screw-fixed cover and single socket drainage access pipe connection, making it a practical 160mm rodding access pipe for larger foul-water and surface-water systems. Manufactured as part of the Magnaplast KG PVC-U underground drainage system, the DN160 fitting has a manufacturer-listed overall length of 332mm and an access dimension of 282mm.

160mm Rectangular Access Pipe

The 160mm rectangular access pipe provides a dedicated maintenance opening within 160mm underground drainage pipework. The rectangular cover is secured with screws and can be removed when the drainage run needs inspection, rodding or cleaning without cutting into the surrounding pipework.

Choosing a 160mm Rectangular Access Pipe

Choose the 160mm rectangular access pipe where planned maintenance access is required within a compatible 160mm underground drainage system. The access fitting should be installed where the cover can remain reachable for future servicing and where its position provides useful access along the pipe run.

160mm Underground Drainage Access Pipe

The 160mm underground drainage access pipe forms part of a below-ground drainage system and provides a service point for future maintenance. It can be used within compatible foul-water, wastewater, rainwater and surface-water drainage installations where 160mm PVC-U pipework is specified.

Installing a 160mm Underground Drainage Access Pipe

Before installing the 160mm underground drainage access pipe, check that the socket, seal and adjoining pipe surfaces are clean and free from grit or damage. Use suitable underground drainage lubricant where required and insert compatible pipe or fitting spigots squarely without displacing the sealing ring.

Single Socket Drainage Access Pipe

This fitting uses a single socket drainage access pipe arrangement, allowing it to be incorporated into compatible 160mm underground drainage pipework. The socket connection uses the push-fit ring-seal jointing principle commonly used throughout PVC-U underground drainage systems.

Single Socket Drainage Access Pipe Maintenance

The single socket drainage access pipe should be positioned so the rectangular cover remains accessible after installation. Where the fitting is buried beneath finished ground level, the overall drainage design may require a suitable chamber or other means of retaining access.

160mm Rodding Access Pipe

The fitting can be used as a 160mm rodding access pipe, giving maintenance equipment direct access into the drainage run. A 160mm rodding access pipe can make future blockage clearance and cleaning considerably easier by reducing the need to excavate or dismantle sections of pipe.

Using a 160mm Rodding Access Pipe

When planning the position of the 160mm rodding access pipe, consider the direction in which cleaning or rodding equipment will need to travel through the system. Suitable access points should be incorporated throughout the complete drainage layout where required.

Rectangular Screw-Fixed Access Cover

The KGRE fitting incorporates a rectangular maintenance opening with a removable screw-fixed cover. This provides a larger and more secure service opening than a small screw access plug while remaining considerably more compact than a full inspection chamber.

PVC-U Underground Drainage System

Magnaplast manufactures its KG underground drainage system from PVC-U. The system is intended for sewage, rainwater, drainage systems, household sewers and connections. PVC-U provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant solution for compatible non-pressure underground drainage installations.

EN 1401 Underground Drainage Fitting

Magnaplast provides certification for its KG PVC-U fittings to EN 1401, the standard covering PVC-U systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage. The manufacturer also specifies the KG system for domestic and commercial wastewater and rainwater applications.

Access Pipe vs Inspection Chamber

An access pipe provides a local opening directly into the drainage run for inspection, cleaning and rodding. An inspection chamber provides substantially greater physical access and is more appropriate where junctions or larger-scale inspection access need to remain accessible.
