FAQs
What is the primary use of this perforated drainage pipe?
This pipe is designed for general land drainage to manage surface water and lower the water table in agricultural fields, gardens, driveways, and landscape areas.

No, this perforated land drainage pipe is not suitable for use as a dispersal drain for septic tanks. Specific systems are required for that application.
What are the dimensions of this product?
The pipe has a diameter of 100mm and comes in a 50-meter coil.
What ensures the joints are secure?
The pipe features a 3 lug design which creates a secure and reliable joint when connected with compatible couplers, resisting separation.
Is this pipe certified for quality?
Yes, the pipe is Kitemarked to BS 4962, signifying adherence to rigorous quality and performance standards.
How should I prevent soil from entering the perforations?
It is recommended to install the pipe wrapped in a geotextile fabric or with a suitable filter material and gravel backfill to prevent soil particles from clogging the perforations.
What material is the pipe made from?
The pipe is manufactured from durable polyethylene, offering resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation.
Troubleshooting
Pipe does not drain effectively
Check for blockages in the pipe or at the connection points. Ensure the pipe has a sufficient gradient for water flow. Verify that the perforations are not clogged with soil; consider installing with geotextile fabric or filter material.
Joints appear loose or are separating
Ensure you are using the correct Polypipe 100mm couplers. Confirm that the pipe ends are clean and fully inserted into the coupler. The 3 lug design should provide a secure grip when properly fitted.
Water pooling persists around the pipe
The pipe may be incorrectly sized for the water volume, or the surrounding soil may have low permeability. Consider increasing pipe density or ensuring adequate gravel backfill to aid water dispersion into the pipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Excavate a trench of appropriate depth and width, ensuring a slight gradient for gravity flow. Lay a bed of clean aggregate at the base of the trench. Position the perforated pipe, ensuring the perforations face downwards or towards the area requiring drainage. Connect pipes using Polypipe's compatible couplers, ensuring a secure fit. Backfill the trench with more aggregate around the pipe, followed by soil. It is recommended to wrap the pipe in geotextile fabric to prevent soil ingress into the perforations.
Compatibility: This 100mm pipe is designed to connect with other Polypipe 100mm land drainage system components, including couplers and inspection chambers. Always verify compatibility before purchase.
Care: Once installed, the system requires minimal direct care. Periodically check connected inspection chambers for silt buildup. If performance degrades, it may indicate a blockage; flushing with water or, in severe cases, excavation for cleaning or replacement might be necessary. Avoid covering the perforations with fine silt or clay during installation to maintain optimal performance.
