Flexible joint VPC DN/OD465-535mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC535_0000

Universal sewer connector – regardless of pipe material

The Funke VPC flexible connector is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users who need a reliable and universal way to connect sewer pipes. Designed to work with a variety of materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP and others – it allows for seamless connection of elements with different outer diameters and wall types (smooth, corrugated, ribbed). This saves time and costs associated with searching for specialized connectors.

Design and operating principle

The key to the versatility of the VPC connector is its unique design. It consists of three main elements: an elastic sealing sleeve made of EPDM (ethylene-propylene rubber), a positioning basket made of durable plastic and two steel alloy straps. The sleeve provides tightness confirmed by the PN-EN 1610 standard thanks to the double sealing profile. The positioning basket centers the connected elements, and the straps allow for precise diameter adjustment. This makes the assembly process quick and reliable.

Advantages and benefits

• Universality: one connector fits pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters – eliminates the need to have many types of connectors.
• Tightness: the double sealing profile of the EPDM sleeve guarantees reliable sealing in accordance with the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Easy installation: the connector design allows for quick and easy connection of pipes without the need for specialized tools (except for a tangens key for larger diameters).
• Flexibility: the possibility of bilateral, separate diameter adjustment ensures a perfect fit even in the case of small differences in pipe dimensions.
• Durability: steel fastening straps provide a stable and durable connection resistant to shear loads.
• Chemical resistance (V4A version): the version made of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive substances contained in wastewater and soil – ideal for harsh environmental conditions.
• Prevention of rubber folding: the design of the positioning basket and sealing sleeve prevents the rubber from shifting or folding during diameter adjustment.

The VPC DN/OD465-535mm connector is a solid solution for demanding sewer installations, providing peace of mind for both installers and end-users.
