Foamed PVC pipes (ML)

Foamed PVC pipes (ML) - a versatile solution for modern installations

In the world of sanitary and sewage installations, foamed PVC pipes (ML) are becoming increasingly popular.   Their unique design combines the advantages of traditional PVC with innovative foaming technology.   The result is a product with exceptional utility properties. In our daily practice, we see growing interest in these solutions.

PVC foam pipes (ML) are characterized by a multi-layer structure. The core of foamed PVC is surrounded by layers of solid PVC. This structure provides excellent strength parameters while reducing weight. This makes installations using them easier to assemble.

Advantages of foamed PVC pipes (ML) in sewage installations

Our experience shows that foamed PVC pipes (ML) have a number of significant advantages:

• High impact and crush resistance
• Less weight while maintaining stiffness
• Excellent acoustic insulation
• Resistance to corrosion and chemicals
• Smooth inner surface reduces dirt build-up

In practice, this translates into longer installation life and lower operating costs.   We often come across questions about the durability of these pipes. We assure you that with proper installation they can serve for decades without losing their properties.

Types and applications of foamed PVC pipes (ML) in the Onninen offer

Our range includes foamed PVC pipes (ML) from renowned manufacturers such as Kaczmarek and Wavin. We offer a wide selection of diameters and stiffness classes. The most popular are:

• PVC external sewage pipes 110mm
• PVC external sewage pipes 160mm
• PVC external sewage pipes 200mm
• PVC external sewage pipes 250mm
• PVC external sewage pipes 315mm

Each of these sizes has its specific applications. Smaller diameter pipes work well in home connections. Larger cross-sections are used in housing estate and city networks.   Our consultants will help you select the right type of pipe for your specific project.

Many customers ask us about the selection criteria for foamed PVC pipes (ML). The key parameters are:

• Estimated ground loads
• Foundation depth
• Type of transported sewage
• Required bandwidth

Based on this information, we are able to propose an optimal solution. Recently, in a project for a large housing estate, we used a system of PVC foam pipes (ML) with a diameter of 250 mm. This allowed for a significant acceleration of assembly work.

Installation and operation of foamed PVC pipes (ML) - practical tips

In the case of reorganization of the sewer network, questions most often arise about the installation process.   Foamed PVC pipes (ML) are installed in a similar way to traditional PVC pipes. However, their lower weight makes them easier to maneuver on the construction site. This is especially important for larger diameters.

Our experience shows that the key factors for the durability of the installation are:

• Correct preparation of the substrate
• Maintaining appropriate inheritances
• Carefully made connections
• Proper backfilling and soil compaction

Onninen recommends using dedicated seals and lubricants. They ensure tightness of connections and facilitate assembly. In our offer you will find a full range of assembly accessories.

In everyday use, PVC foam pipes (ML) do not require special maintenance. Their smooth internal surface limits the deposition of sediments.   Periodic hydrodynamic cleaning allows you to maintain full operational efficiency of the installation for years.

We often come across the question about the impact of foamed PVC pipes (ML) on the environment. It is worth emphasizing that this material is fully recyclable. After use, it can be processed into new products. This is an important aspect in the context of growing ecological awareness.

At Onninen we offer comprehensive support in the design and implementation of PVC foam pipe installations (ML). Our specialists provide technical advice at every stage of the investment. We invite you to contact us and take advantage of our experience in selecting the optimal solutions for your projects.
