Flexible connection VPC DN/OD395-465mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC465_0000

Universal connector for drainage pipes made of various materials

The Funke VPC® flexible connector is a reliable solution for connecting drainage pipes made of various materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, as well as smooth, corrugated and ribbed pipes. Its design allows connecting elements with different outer diameters, which significantly facilitates installation work and eliminates the need for additional adapters.

The connector consists of several key elements: an elastomeric sealing cuff ensuring tightness, a positioning basket made of plastic stabilizing the connection, and two steel alloy straps guaranteeing a secure fit to the pipe diameter. The cuff is made of EPDM rubber (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60) and has a double sealing profile, meeting the requirements of PN-EN 1610. The positioning basket is characterized by high resistance to mechanical and temperature damage.

Application and benefits:

• Versatility: Ideal for connecting pipes of different diameters and made of different materials – saves time and costs associated with selecting the appropriate fittings.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the cuff provides reliable sealing, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Easy installation: The connector design allows for quick and secure installation without the need for specialized tools (except for a wrench for the straps in the case of larger diameters).
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and aggressive chemicals – guarantees long-term use.
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for small displacements and stresses in the installation, preventing cracks.
• Safety: Provides a stable and safe connection of drainage elements.

This model (VPC465_0000) is designed for pipes with an outer diameter in the range of 395-465 mm. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications – from the construction of sewage networks to the modernization of existing installations. Versions resistant to oil are made of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel, which further increases their durability in harsh operating conditions. It is worth remembering about the possibility of using leveling rings in case of larger diameter differences of the connected pipes.
