Flexible connection VPC DN/OD925-995mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC995_0000

Universal connector for drainage pipes made of various 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 connecting elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters in many cases. This saves time and costs during installation.

The connector consists of an elastomer 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. This construction ensures not only tightness (according to PN-EN 1610 thanks to the double sealing profile), but also a stable and secure connection resistant to shear loads. The positioning cage centers the connected elements and allows smooth diameter adjustment.

Advantages for the installer and user:

• Versatility: one connector fits pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Quick installation: simple construction and no need for additional elements speed up installation.
• Tightness: the double sealing profile of the EPDM cuff guarantees reliable sealing.
• Durability: steel fastening straps provide a stable connection resistant to loads.
• Flexibility: possibility of adaptation to different diameters without the need for sealing rings (in most cases).
• Resistance: versions resistant to the action of oils and gasoline are available (made of V4A stainless steel – material number 1.4404), which makes them ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions – e.g. in sewage containing aggressive substances or in areas exposed to seawater.
• Safety: the design prevents the rubber from sliding or wrinkling during diameter adjustment.

The VPC connector is particularly useful in situations where it is necessary to connect old and new elements of the drainage system or when there are differences in pipe diameters. Its flexibility allows compensation for small shifts and irregularities, which minimizes the risk of leaks and damage. Thanks to this, the investor can count on long-term and trouble-free operation of the sewage system.
