Description
The 160mm drainage pipe 3m single socket is a durable underground drainage pipe for larger foul water and surface water drainage systems. It is suitable for trade groundwork, commercial drainage layouts, larger domestic drainage runs and site installations where 160mm pipework is required.
This Kayflow 160mm single socket pipe comes in a 3 metre length, making it easier to handle, store and transport than longer 6 metre pipe lengths. The single socket design gives one socketed end and one plain end for straightforward connection into compatible 160mm underground drainage fittings.

160mm Drainage Pipe for Underground Systems
The 160mm drainage pipe is used in underground gravity drainage systems where a larger pipe diameter is needed. It can be used for foul water and surface water drainage when installed with compatible 160mm pipe fittings and in line with the site specification.
Compared with 110mm drainage pipe, 160mm pipework is commonly used on larger runs, higher-capacity drainage layouts and commercial or groundwork projects. It connects with matching 160mm underground drainage couplers, bends, branches, access fittings, adaptors and flexible connectors.

160mm Drainage Pipe 3m Single Socket Use
This 160mm drainage pipe is a practical choice where a shorter pipe length is easier to manage on site. The 3m length can be useful in tighter work areas, smaller excavations, restricted access locations and jobs where longer pipe lengths are difficult to transport or store.
The socketed end allows connection into compatible 160mm underground drainage pipe or fittings. The plain end can be cut to suit the installation when required. If the pipe is cut, make a clean square cut and chamfer the edge before fitting. This helps protect the seal and makes the pipe easier to joint.
Before installation, check the pipe route, trench depth, fall direction and connection points. Correct bedding and backfill are important, as they support the pipe and help protect the drainage system after installation.
160mm Drainage Pipe Installation Guidance
The 160mm drainage pipe should be installed with compatible 160mm underground drainage fittings. Make sure each pipe end is clean before jointing. Also, use suitable pipe lubricant on push-fit ring seal joints where required by the system.
Pipework should be laid to the correct fall and supported evenly along the trench. Avoid placing sharp stones or unsuitable material directly against the pipe. Good bedding and careful backfilling help reduce movement and protect the drainage run over time.
Always follow current UK drainage guidance, Building Regulations, site specifications and manufacturer instructions. This helps keep the underground drainage system reliable, serviceable and suitable for long-term use.
