Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD980-1030mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC1030OEL_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. The connector's design ensures a secure and tight connection, minimizing the risk of leaks and failures.

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 alloy steel straps. The straps allow for even adjustment of the pipe diameter on both sides of the connector. The sleeve has a double sealing profile, guaranteeing reliability and durability of the connection.

The oil-resistant version (VPC1030OEL_0000) is distinguished by the use of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel for the production of fastening elements. This type of steel is characterized by exceptional resistance to corrosion, the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances present in wastewater and soil. This makes the connector ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions, including areas exposed to contact with petroleum substances or seawater.

• Versatility: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM sleeve provides reliable sealing according to PN-EN 1610.
• Durability: Elements made of V4A stainless steel guarantee resistance to corrosion and aggressive environment.
• Flexibility: The connector design allows for absorption of small displacements and stresses in the installation.
• Easy installation: Provides quick and secure installation without the need for specialized tools (although a tangens key may be required for larger diameters).
• Safety: The use of high-quality materials and precise design ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation.

The VPC connector is particularly recommended for use in drainage installations exposed to chemical substances or oils, such as petrol stations, car workshops or wastewater treatment plants. It will also work in places requiring connection of pipes with different technical parameters or made of incompatible materials. Thanks to the wide range of outer diameters (in this case 980-1030mm) it minimizes the need for additional connecting elements.
