Exactly it will be totally enclosed within the cavity wallThe plastic used for underground fittings & pipe does not have the same chemical make up as the above ground fittings & pipe, it does not have the same level of protection against the elements, especially UV protection from the sun. It breaks down much quicker than above ground drainage fittings, this is why it is much cheaper, and should not be used for above ground. Mind you, I suppose if the fitting in question will be cemented into the wall, it might be okay, but I for one, would certainly not recommend it.
and its all fitted, checked for leaks at high volume and done, there was never any question of price it was in one of the vans so I used it...thanks for the info....being honest as we live near the coast the scour of wind blown sand wears away grey and black pipe much more quickly than the brown colour ...and as it has a rough finish it is easy to repaint than the shiny black stuff...just my observations
