BlackMAX® pipes are manufactured with a high-performance spigot and socket rubber ring joint system for water tightness requirements in accordance with AS/NZS5065. The elastomeric seal is placed in the second last trough from the spigot end and is compressed as the spigot enters the socket to seal the joint. This system allows the installer to cut the pipe anywhere along the pipe barrel and make the joint.

BlackMAX® pipes are classified as SN8 and can be buried up to 6 metres under normal installation conditions provided the pipes are designed and installed in accordance with AS/NZS2566.1 ‘Buried flexible pipelines Part 1: Structural design’ and AS/NZS2566.2 ‘Buried flexible pipelines – Part 2 Installation’
For critical infrastructure projects, deep installations and where BlackMAX® is intended to be used in low strength soils, a full structural analysis should be performed.

BlackMAX® is designed to offer controlled deflection under vertical soil loads, ensuring the transfer of these loads to the soil in the side support zone. Proper construction of the side support zone is crucial, and AS/NZS 2566.2 ‘Buried flexible pipelines – Part 2 Installation’ provides detailed guidelines for selecting appropriate methods. The key to successful installation lies in the careful selection and compaction of the embedment material, which should be granular in nature and easily compactable. Commonly used materials include crushed rock, aggregate, and graded sand. For comprehensive guidance on embedment material selection, refer to Appendices ‘G’ and ‘H’ of AS/NZS 2566.2.
To prevent damage, it is important to handle BlackMAX® pipes with care and avoid rolling, dropping, or exposing them to sharp objects. The storage site should be flat and clear of any obstructions. When unloading, it is recommended to keep the pipes in their packs until needed. If the pipes are not in crates, place them on horizontal supporting timbers spaced approximately 2 meters apart. These timbers can also be used to separate individual layers when stacking the pipes. To protect the sockets, ensure they are elevated and kept clear from the ground during storage.
BlackMAX® is manufactured to AS/NZS 5065 “Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) pipes and fittings for drainage and sewerage applications” and has Standards Mark third party certification under this standard.
BlackMAX® has been appraised by WSAA (Water Services Association of Australia) for performance compliance with AS/NSZ 5065
