Rigid PE permeable pipe

A rigid HDPE pipe with a patterned wall. The upper two-thirds is perforated. The lower third is solid, so water that has entered is less likely to leak back into the ground.

The pipe is extruded from HDPE while the die oscillates, which gives the curved, net-like wall. It is also sold under names such as seepage pipe, collector pipe and blind-drain pipe.

What the brochure emphasises

  • Light to handle.
  • Solid invert, perforated crown.
  • Described as chemically resistant and resistant to impact.

Uses named in the brochure

  • Buried collection where a rigid perforated pipe is specified.
  • The brochure does not give a separate project list for this pipe.

Stated in the brochure

  • The brochure says collection capacity is five to ten times that of similar products, and that flow is two to three times a concrete or corrugated pipe of the same diameter. No test reference is printed beside those sentences.
