Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD345-415mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC415OEL_0000

Flexible connection of various drainage materials

The Funke VPC® flexible connector is a reliable solution for connecting pipes of the same nominal diameter made of different materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP and others, both smooth, corrugated and ribbed. Thanks to it, the connection is tight even with differences in the outer diameters of the pipes. The connector design allows for bilateral and smooth diameter adjustment, which facilitates installation and ensures connection durability.

The connector consists of an elastomer sealing cuff made of EPDM rubber (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60) with a double sealing profile guaranteeing reliability. The positioning basket made of durable plastic centers the connected elements, and steel straps allow for precise diameter adjustment. The oil-resistant version has elements made of stainless steel V4A (1.4404), which ensures resistance to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances contained in wastewater and soil – an ideal solution for demanding conditions.

Construction features and advantages

• Versatility: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters without the need for additional compensating rings.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM cuff provides reliable sealing according to the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Durability: Steel alloy straps provide a secure and durable connection, resistant to shear loads.
• Chemical resistance: The oil-resistant version (V4A) is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemicals.
• Easy installation: The connector design allows for quick and reliable installation without the need for specialized tools (although a dedicated tangens key facilitates work with larger diameters).
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for small shifts and irregularities in the installation, reducing stress and the risk of damage.
• Safety: Prevents the rubber from sliding or wrinkling during diameter adjustment thanks to the cuff and positioning basket design.

The Funke VPC® connector is an optimal choice for both professional installers looking for a reliable solution and end customers who value the durability and safety of the drainage installation. It allows for a flexible approach to installation design and minimizes the risk of future problems.
