Progress made its way into all spheres of human life, even such as the construction of sewage systems. Pipes serve as the basis of any sewer system. Today, their various types are used, but the most popular can be called plastic. Corrugated sewer pipes are great for installing an outdoor system. They can be used for storm sewage and drainage.
What are corrugated sewer pipes?
This type of product is made from a polymer with a high level of resistance to chemicals, as well as resistance to shock. Pipes are characterized by a long service life, because polyethylene is able to withstand high abrasion loads. Installation of external pipelines and stormwater is often carried out using double plastic corrugated products. Stiffeners - this is the main parameter of the performance of these products. It shows the ability of the material to withstand mechanical loads, including those that the soil exerts. Corrugated sewer pipes made of polyethylene are characterized by a rather high degree of flexibility, which makes it possible to dispense with their installation without the use of additional fittings.
What is the appeal of these products?
If an external pipeline is being constructed, a corrugated flexible sewer pipe is an ideal option. Its most valuable qualities for consumers are the following:
- product availability in terms of cost;
- ease of installation, which does not require the use of specialized machinery and equipment;
- sufficient service life (up to half a century).
Inside the pipe there is a smooth surface, which does not allow plaque to form on their walls, that is, blockages in such pipes are rare.
Corrugated sewer pipes: types
Manufacturers offer several different types of these products, each of which has its own purpose:
- Electrical corrugation is characterized by an average degree of flexibility and the same indicators of mechanical stability.
- A single-layer pipe, which is characterized by great lightness and flexibility. It is used for laying cables and protecting the pipeline.
- Double-layer corrugations are used for laying cables where the risk of damage is high enough.
- Double-layer pipes with a high degree of mechanical and chemical strength are used for laying sewers.
Corrugated sewer pipe 160 is produced by domestic and foreign enterprises. These products are considered a universal material that can be recommended for use in private construction and production pipelines. They are able to cope with high mechanical loads, which allows them to be used underground. The elasticity of the pipes allows you to lay them without the use of fittings, so that work is faster.
