Unsocked agi pipe is slotted corrugated drainage coil without the geotextile filter sleeve. It is the cheaper of the two, and it is the right choice in one specific situation: where the pipe sits inside a geo fabric wrap at the base of the drainage aggregate, so the fabric is already filtering out the fines.
If the pipe is going in without that wrap, order socked pipe instead. An unsocked line laid straight against soil silts up, and a blocked drain is the same as no drain at all.
Which size
-
60mm and 65mm suit walls up to 1m high.
-
100mm is for walls 1m and above, and for any wall where a lot of water drains toward it from uphill.

Weights are based on published Vinidex Draincoil SN8 slotted pipe figures for the nearest equivalent nominal size. They are a freight guide, not a certified figure. Coils are bulky rather than heavy, so delivery cost on agi pipe is usually driven by the space it takes on the truck.
How much you need
One run, the full length of the wall, plus enough to reach your discharge point. Order a little over rather than joining two coils in the middle of a trench. Our wall calculator works it out alongside your gravel and geo fabric.
