Description
The 160mm access pipe single socket is an underground drainage fitting used to provide inspection and rodding access within a 160mm drainage run. It is suitable for larger foul water and surface water drainage systems where future maintenance access is needed.
This Magnaplast KGRE access pipe is designed for use with compatible 160mm underground drainage pipework. It helps create a serviceable access point in the drainage system, making it easier to inspect, clean or rod the pipe run when required.
The access cover allows drainage installers and maintenance teams to reach the pipework without removing a full section of pipe. As a result, this fitting is useful on larger domestic drainage layouts, commercial groundwork projects and site drainage installations.
160mm Access Pipe for Underground Drainage
The 160mm access pipe is used where inspection or maintenance access is required within a 160mm underground drainage system. It can be installed as part of a new drainage run or used during alterations to an existing system.
Access fittings play an important role in underground drainage layouts. They help make future rodding, cleaning and inspection easier. Also, they can reduce the need to disturb surrounding pipework if the drainage system needs maintenance later.

160mm Access Pipe with Rodding Access
This 160mm access pipe gives installers a practical access point within the drainage layout. The access cover can be removed when inspection, testing or cleaning is required.
It is especially useful on longer pipe runs, changes in layout, or areas where future access may be needed. For example, it can be used where a drainage run passes through a restricted area or where a chamber is not being installed at that exact point.
Before fitting, check the pipe route, fall direction and final access position. The access cover should remain reachable after installation. Do not place it where it will be permanently blocked by concrete, landscaping, chamber walls or other fittings.
160mm Access Pipe Installation Use
The 160mm access pipe should be installed with compatible 160mm underground drainage pipe and fittings. Make sure the pipe end is clean before jointing. Also, use suitable pipe lubricant on ring seal joints where required.
If the pipe is cut to length, make a clean square cut. Then chamfer the cut edge before pushing it into the socket. This helps protect the seal and makes the joint easier to assemble.
Correct bedding and backfill are important. The pipe and fitting should be supported evenly so the drainage run remains stable after installation. Poor bedding can put stress on joints and may affect long-term performance.
Always follow the site specification, Building Regulations and manufacturer guidance. This helps keep the drainage system reliable, serviceable and suitable for long-term use.
Access Pipe for Maintenance
This 160mm access pipe is a useful fitting for drainage layouts that need planned maintenance access. It allows the pipe run to be reached for rodding or inspection without cutting into the system.
The access cover should be checked during installation to make sure it is correctly fitted and secure. It should also remain accessible for future use. If access is required from ground level, the wider drainage design may need a suitable chamber, cover or inspection point.
This product is not a chamber base. It is a pipe access fitting. Therefore, it should be used in the correct location within the drainage layout and matched with suitable 160mm underground drainage components.
