Flexible connection VPC DN/OD870-940mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC940_0000

Universal connector for drainage pipes made of various materials

Flexible connector Funke VPC is a reliable solution for connecting drainage pipes made of different materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP and others, both smooth, corrugated and ribbed. Thanks to this, a single connector allows for flexible adaptation to existing infrastructure and minimizes the need to use additional adapters. Designed for durability and ease of installation, it works well both on construction sites carried out by professionals and during repairs or expansion of installations by individual customers.

Construction and principle of operation

The key to the connector's versatility is its construction. It consists of three main elements: an elastomeric sealing cuff made of EPDM (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60), a positioning cage made of durable plastic and two steel alloy straps. The cuff provides tightness confirmed by the PN-EN 1610 standard thanks to the double sealing profile. The positioning cage centers the connected elements, and the straps allow for precise adjustment of the pipe diameter. The whole ensures a stable and secure connection, resistant to shear loads.

Advantages and benefits

• Universality: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters – eliminates the need to use many types of connectors.
• Flexibility: Compensates for small shifts and irregularities in the installation, reducing stress and the risk of damage.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM cuff guarantees reliable sealing according to the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials – alloy steel and a weather-resistant positioning cage – ensures long-term use.
• Easy installation: The simple construction allows for quick and trouble-free installation without specialized tools (tangent key required for larger diameters).
• Chemical resistance (V4A version): A version made of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel is available, resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemicals present in wastewater and soil.

The VPC DN/OD870-940mm connector is particularly useful for connecting pipes with an outer diameter in the range of 870-940 mm. It allows for efficient and safe connection of drainage elements in various installation conditions.
