Abstract
Abstract A synthetic resin pipe for underground installation includes a synthetic resin strip which is spirally wound and joined to form an elongated pipe. The outer surface of this elongated pipe is smooth and continuous. Reinforcing ribs of the strip have hollow centers and protrude radially inwardly. Strip lateral extents which are adjacent to the reinforcing ribs are joined to form the smooth outer surface of the pipe and also to form an inner wall between adjacent reinforcing ribs.
