Adapter BI DN500 + VPC 520 connector for connecting pipes with non-circular outer geometry BIA500520_0000

BI DN500 + VPC 520 Adapter – a reliable connection for irregularly shaped pipes

This adapter is a comprehensive solution for connecting pipes with non-circular outer geometries, utilizing proven technologies and materials. It consists of an inner stainless steel sleeve, sealing EPDM cuffs, and a stainless steel expansion wedge. This design ensures a tight and durable connection, regardless of the pipe material. The set also includes a VPC® flexible connector, which expands the range of applications and allows for compensation of slight displacements.

Construction and principle of operation

The BI adapter is based on the principle of expanding the sleeve inside the pipe. After seating, the sleeve surrounded by an EPDM cuff is pressed against the inner wall of the pipe using an expansion wedge. Annularly embedded sealing ribs further guarantee tightness. The VPC® connector attached to the other end of the adapter provides flexibility and the ability to adapt to different outer pipe diameters, within the compatibility range of the given connector type.

This adapter is particularly useful when dealing with pipes of non-standard shapes, e.g. concrete or steel with uneven surfaces. This makes installation easier and faster, and the risk of leaks is minimized.

Key advantages and applications

• Versatility: Suitable for all commonly used pipe materials – concrete, steel, plastic and others.
• Quick installation: Simple construction and intuitive operation allow for quick and efficient connection of pipes, which translates into saving time and labor costs.
• Tightness: The combination of a stainless steel sleeve, EPDM cuff and expansion wedge ensures a reliable seal of the connection.
• Flexibility: The VPC® connector allows compensation for slight displacements and diameter differences, making installation easier in difficult conditions.
• Patented solution: The BI adapter is a proven and patented technology, guaranteeing high quality and reliability.
• Application in various industries: Ideal for water supply, sewage, industrial installations and in general construction.
• Compliance with standards: It has the approval of DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik), which confirms its compliance with European safety and quality standards.

The BIA500520 adapter is dedicated to connections with a nominal diameter of DN500 using a VPC 520 connector. It provides a solid and durable connection of installation elements, minimizing the risk of failures and costly repairs. This is particularly important in installations exposed to high pressure or aggressive chemical environments.
