Abstract
Abstract A plastic pipe comprises an inner wall and an outer wall, being integral with longitudinal partitions betweem them and bounding longitudinally extending channels and a circumferential, helically or non-helically extending groove, which groove has been formed by closing the channels by pressing channel wall parts onto each other. A retaining ring may be snapped into an external groove.
