Flexible joint VPC DN/OD710-780mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC780_0000

Flexible connection of various drainage materials

The Funke VPC flexible connector 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. Its design allows the connection of elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters. The VPC connector provides a tight and durable connection, minimizing the risk of leaks and failures in the drainage system.

Using the VPC connector guarantees flexibility during installation and modernization. Thanks to the possibility of connecting pipes with different parameters, installers have freedom in choosing materials and configuring the system. The connector is particularly useful in situations where it is necessary to connect new elements to existing drainage infrastructure.

Construction and advantages

The connector consists of several key elements: an elastomeric sealing sleeve made of EPDM (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60), a positioning cage made of plastic and two steel alloy straps. The sleeve has a double sealing profile ensuring the reliability and durability of the connection. The positioning cage centers the connected elements and allows smooth diameter adjustment. Steel alloy straps ensure even pressure of the sleeve onto the pipes, guaranteeing tightness even under variable loads.

• Versatility: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the sleeve provides reliable sealing according to PN-EN 1610.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage.
• Easy installation: Simple construction allows quick and trouble-free installation without the need for specialized tools (although a mounting tool kit is available separately).
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for thermal movements and ground settlement, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation.
• Safety: Provides a stable and secure connection, resistant to shear loads.

The VPC DN/OD710-780mm connector is intended for use in external and internal drainage systems where flexibility and reliable connections are required. It will be suitable for both new installations and during the modernization of existing drainage systems.
