Single-socket pipe with U-AK gasket, L=1000 DN100, grey cast iron socket (GJL) MROHRDN1001

Socketed cast iron pipes – durability and reliability in sewage systems

A single-socket pipe with U-AK gasket, made of gray cast iron (GJL), is an element of a socketed pipe and fitting system designed for the construction of gravity sewage systems and drainage of water from buildings. It is characterized by high fire resistance, exceptional durability and provides a low level of acoustic noise during flow. It is a proven choice for both new installations and during the renovation of existing networks.

These pipes are particularly popular in the renovation of historic buildings, where traditional appearance and solid workmanship are key. They allow you to maintain the original character of the object while ensuring modern comfort of use. U-AK gaskets significantly facilitate assembly, reducing investment time and minimizing the risk of errors.

Construction and application

The pipe with a nominal diameter of DN100 is made of socketed gray cast iron (GJL), which guarantees its resistance to mechanical loads and corrosion. The socketed design allows for a tight connection with other system elements – pipes and fittings – using a U-AK gasket. Such a connection system is easy to assemble and, at the same time, ensures long-term reliability.

These pipes are widely used in:

• Construction of internal and external gravity sewage systems
• Drainage of domestic and industrial wastewater
• Renovation of old sewage installations
• Buildings with increased aesthetic requirements (e.g. historic buildings)
• Terrain drainage systems

Benefits of use

• Durability: Cast iron is a material with high resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion, which translates into a long service life of the pipes.
• Tightness: U-AK gaskets ensure tight connections, eliminating the risk of leaks and unpleasant odors.
• Easy installation: U-AK gaskets facilitate pipe assembly, reducing working time and lowering installation costs. Just lubricate the gasket and the end of the pipe with a lubricant before connecting.
• Temperature resistance: Cast iron tolerates both low and high temperatures well, allowing the pipes to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Fire resistance: Cast iron is a non-flammable material, which increases the safety of the installation in the event of a fire.
• Aesthetics: The traditional appearance of cast iron pipes blends perfectly with the architecture of historic buildings.
