Product Range
Astral Foamcore pipes are available in 110 mm to 315 mm size, selfit and ringfit types with different stiffness classes mainly categorised as SN2, SN4 & SN8. SN2 pipes are recommended for above ground applications, while SN4 & SN8 pipes are recommended for below-ground applications, depending on the level at which these pipes have to be installed.
- OD 110 mm (11.0 cm) with stiffness class SN4 (SDR 41) & SN8 (SDR 34)
- OD 160 mm (16.0 cm), 200 mm (20.0 cm), 250 mm (25.0 cm) & 315 mm (31.5 cm) with stiffness class SN2 (SDR 51), SN4 (SDR 41) & SN8 (SDR 34)
Types of Astral Foamcore pipes
Ringfit Pipes
Ringfit pipes are precisely socketed using an advanced automatic online socketing machine, ensuring high accuracy. Each socket features an internal groove designed to securely hold a rubber ring, creating a watertight, leak-proof joint ideal for sewerage pipes and underground drainage pipe systems. One end of the pipe is plain, while the other is self-socketed with an integral groove for seamless fitting with PVC pipe fittings. When assembled, the joint remains secure and durable, effectively handling thermal expansion and contraction. Available in 110 mm and 160 mm sizes.
Selfit Pipes
Selfit pipes are socketed on the automatic socketing machine with self-socket length (without groove). Such pipes are to be joined with solvent cement. One end of the pipe is plain and the other is self-socketed on sophisticated automatic machines for a high degree of accurate diameters. When joined using solvent cement, the pipes form a permanent watertight joint. Available Sizes: 110 mm, 160 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm & 315 mm
