Frequently Asked Questions

What projects are 160mm sewer pipe fittings most suited?

160mm pipes are typically used for more heavy-duty applications and projects that require pipes to run from properties into one drainage system, as they can carry the main flow of wastewater. They can also carry larger volumes of wastewater to and away from underground drainage systems such as soakaways. You would then use 160mm pipe fittings to fix the piping together. 160mm sewer pipe fittings should only be used with 160mm sewer pipes. For more information regarding 160mm pipe fittings, get in touch with Cotterill Civils via our online enquiry form, and we’ll be in touch as soon as possible.

How wide should I dig my trench to house an underground 160mm sewer pipe and fittings?

The general rule for trench diameters is that it should always be 300mm wider than the plastic sewer pipe you intend to lay. This is because backfill needs to be laid to protect and cushion the pipe and fittings from the surrounding ground. Following the trench diameter specifications, a 160mm sewer pipe and fittings requires a 460mm wide trench. The soil removed for the trench can be used as backfill. But we recommend using pea shingle as it is more protective. At Cotterill Civils, we only stock high quality, durable 160mm pipe fittings that are built to last.

Which plastic sewer pipe fitting do I need?

This depends on your project and whether your pipe run will change direction. If your piping layout isn't a straight run, you’ll need drainage pipe bend fittings to securely change the angle, without risking leaks. Destinations could include an underground drainage system, such as a cesspit. We have a fitting for every angle - our selection includes 15°, 30°, 45° and 90° bends. However, you may only need to join two plastic pipes together. If so, you’ll only need a pipe coupler. Another type of 160mm pipe fitting we supply is Y and T junctions. Junctions are used when joining two pipe runs together. For more information on sewer pipe fittings, you can get in touch with one of our experts by calling us on 01213513230

Do I need pipe lubricant when installing 160mm sewer pipe fittings?

It’s essential to use pipe lubricant when fixing two plastic pipes together. This substance prevents 160mm fittings from displacing and reduces the force required to install the joints together. The 500ml Flexseal pipe lubricant we stock is suitable for clay, concrete, and plastic pipes. We recommend purchasing lubricant alongside your 160mm pipe fittings so you can get to work assembling your pipe run as soon as possible. Do you need to speak with a professional?
