Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD220-261mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC220OEL_0020

Universal connector for sewer pipes – flexibility and reliable connections

Funke VPC® flexible connector is a solution dedicated to connecting sewer pipes made of various materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, as well as pipes with smooth, corrugated or ribbed surfaces. Its design allows for compensation of differences in the outer diameters of the connected pipes, which greatly simplifies installation and ensures a secure connection. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and building owners.

Construction and principle of operation

The 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, guaranteeing tightness confirmed by the PN-EN 1610 standard. The positioning cage centers the connected elements, and the straps allow for precise diameter adjustment. The oil-resistant version (VPC220OEL_0020) is characterized by the use of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel, which ensures resistance to oils, gasoline and aggressive chemicals present in wastewater and soil – as well as to seawater.

Advantages and benefits

• Universality: The ability to connect pipes made of different materials eliminates the need to use many types of connectors.
• Flexibility: Compensation for differences in outer diameters simplifies installation and minimizes the risk of errors.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the sleeve guarantees reliable sealing in accordance with the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Chemical resistance: The oil-resistant version (VPC220OEL_0020) thanks to the use of V4A steel is resistant to oils, gasoline and aggressive chemicals.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Easy installation: The connector design allows for quick and secure installation without the need for additional tools (except for a tangens key for larger diameters).
• Safety: Provides a stable and secure pipe connection, minimizing the risk of leaks and failures of the sewage system.
• Diameter range: Available in a wide range of outer diameters (in this case DN/OD 220-261mm), allowing it to be adapted to different installation needs.

The Funke VPC® connector is an investment in the durability and safety of your sewage system. Its versatility and ease of installation will be appreciated by both professionals and people independently performing plumbing work.
