Flexible connection VPC DN/OD820-890mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC890_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. It allows connection of elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters in many cases. Using this connector guarantees a tight and durable connection.

Construction and principle of operation

The VPC connector consists of several key elements: an elastomeric sealing cuff made of EPDM (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60), a positioning basket made of durable plastic and two steel alloy straps. The cuff has a double sealing profile ensuring reliability, and protrusions on the circumference allow for correct seating of the positioning basket. This basket centers the connected elements and allows for smooth diameter adjustment. Steel straps ensure even pressure of the cuff onto the pipes, guaranteeing tightness even with differences in outer diameters. The entire construction provides stability and flexibility of the connection.

Advantages and benefits

• Versatility: Possibility of connecting pipes made of different materials and with different geometries (smooth, corrugated, ribbed).
• Flexibility: Compensates for small shifts and irregularities in the installation.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM cuff ensures reliable sealing according to PN-EN 1610.
• Simple installation: Quick and easy installation without the need for specialized tools (although a dedicated tangens key facilitates work with larger diameters).
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage. A version resistant to the action of oils and gasoline is available (V4A 1.4404 steel).
• Wide range of diameters: Covers a large range of diameters without the need for additional reducing rings – in this case, the range of outer diameters is 820-890 mm.
• Safety: Provides a secure and durable connection, minimizing the risk of leaks and failures of the drainage system.
• Savings: Eliminates the need for additional connecting elements in many cases.

This connector is particularly useful during renovations and modernization of drainage networks, where pipes made of different materials or with different diameters often occur. It is also an ideal solution for installers looking for a universal and reliable element for building new drainage installations.
