Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD360-430mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC430OEL_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 and others, both smooth, corrugated and ribbed. It allows connecting elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters in many cases. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a durable and universal way to connect drainage elements.

Design and application

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, ensuring 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 (VPC430OEL_0000) is characterized by elements made of V4A stainless steel (1.4404), which ensures resistance to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances found in wastewater and soil – also in a marine environment.

Advantages and benefits

• Versatility: Possibility of connecting pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters without the need for additional elements.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the sleeve guarantees reliable sealing according to the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Resistance: The oil-resistant version, thanks to the use of V4A steel, is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and chemicals.
• Easy installation: The connector design allows for quick and secure installation without specialized tools (although a dedicated tangens key facilitates work with larger diameters).
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for small displacements and pipe movements, minimizing the risk of damage caused by stress.
• Durability: High-quality materials used ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Safety: Properly installed VPC connector ensures a safe and tight connection of drainage elements.
• Savings: Eliminates the need to use many different types of connectors for different pipe materials.

The VPC connector is a proven choice for installers looking for a reliable solution and for end-users who value durability and ease of installation.
