Flexible joint VPC DN/OD870-940mm for round concrete pipe DN700 and plastic pipe DN/OD700 VPCBA700_0000

Flexible connection of different materials and diameters

The Funke VPC flexible connector is a reliable solution for connecting sewer pipes made of various materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP and others. It allows connection of pipes with different geometries (smooth, corrugated or ribbed) and different outer diameters. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users who need a durable and tight connection.

The VPC connector is characterized by exceptional flexibility and the ability to compensate for displacements, which minimizes the risk of damage caused by ground movement or temperature changes. The construction with an elastomeric sealing sleeve, a positioning basket made of plastic and steel alloy tapes ensures a secure and durable connection. This makes the installation resistant to overloads and vibrations.

Construction and application

The connector consists of several key elements:

• Elastomeric sealing sleeve: made of ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM), provides a double sealing profile in accordance with PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Positioning basket: made of durable plastic with high impact and temperature resistance, allows for centric alignment of the connected pipes.
• Steel alloy tapes: allow for bilateral, separate and smooth adjustment of the pipe diameter.

The VPC DN/OD870-940mm connector is designed for connecting concrete circular pipes DN700 and plastic pipes DN/OD700. It will be useful in the construction of sewage networks, house connections and wherever a flexible and reliable pipe connection with different parameters is required.

Key advantages

• Versatility: possibility of connecting pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Tightness: double sealing profile guarantees reliable sealing in accordance with PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Durability: construction made of high-quality materials ensures durability and resistance to mechanical loads and weather conditions.
• Easy installation: intuitive design allows for quick and trouble-free installation without the need for specialized tools (although a VPC installation tool kit is available separately).
• Movement compensation: flexible construction compensates for ground movements and temperature changes, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation.
• Chemical resistance: versions resistant to oil exposure are available (made of V4A stainless steel – material number 1.4404), making them ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions.
