Flexible joint VPC DN/OD285-345mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC345_0000

Flexible connection of various drainage materials

The Funke VPC flexible joint is a reliable solution for connecting drainage pipes made of different materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, as well as smooth, corrugated and ribbed pipes. It allows connection of elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users who appreciate simple installation and long-lasting tightness.

The VPC joint consists of an elastomer sealing cuff made of EPDM (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60), a positioning cage made of durable plastic and two straps made of alloy steel. These straps allow precise adjustment of the pipe diameter on both sides of the joint. The design with a double sealing profile ensures reliable tightness confirmed by the PN-EN 1610 standard.

• Versatility: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile guarantees reliable sealing.
• Durability: Alloy steel straps provide a stable and durable connection.
• Easy installation: Simple construction allows quick and trouble-free installation without the need for specialized tools (although a tangens key may be useful for larger diameters).
• Flexibility: The joint compensates for small displacements and pipe movements, minimizing the risk of damage.
• Resistance: Available version resistant to oil and gasoline due to the use of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel.

The VPC joint is characterized by a compact design that ensures stability and reliable operation. The positioning cage prevents the sealing cuff from sliding or folding during diameter adjustment. This ensures that the diameter reduction process takes place evenly around the entire circumference, and the articulated middle part allows independent adjustment on each side of the joint. This solution works in demanding installation conditions, ensuring long-term and trouble-free operation of the drainage system.
