Flexible connection VPC DN/OD890-960 mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC960_0000

Product Features

• Flexible connection of different drainage 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. It allows connecting elements with different outer diameters without the need for additional sealing rings. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a durable and universal way to connect drainage elements.

Construction and operating principle

The VPC 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 durable plastic and two steel alloy straps. The sleeve has a double sealing profile, ensuring tightness confirmed by the PN-EN 1610 standard. The positioning cage centers the connected elements, and the straps allow for precise diameter adjustment. This makes the installation process quick and reliable. The connector design prevents the rubber from wrinkling when adjusting diameters.

Advantages and benefits

• Versatility: Ability to connect pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile guarantees reliable sealing in accordance with the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials – EPDM, high-impact plastic and alloy steel. Versions resistant to oil exposure are available (V4A steel – 1.4404), making them ideal for use in harsh conditions.
• Easy installation: Quick and easy installation without the need for specialized tools (although a dedicated tangens key facilitates work).
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for small shifts and irregularities in the installation.
• Safety: Reliable transfer of shear loads thanks to bilateral, stepless adjustment.
• Savings: Eliminates the need for additional sealing rings in many cases.

The VPC DN/OD890-960 mm connector is particularly useful for repairing existing drainage installations or modernizing networks where pipes are made of different materials or have different diameters. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to existing installation conditions, minimizing the risk of problems related to tightness or connection durability.
