Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD450-520mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC520OEL_0000

Flexible connection of various drainage materials

The Funke VPC flexible joint 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 connecting elements with different outer diameters, eliminating the need for additional adapters in many cases. The joint's design ensures a secure and durable connection, resistant to loads and stresses.

The VPC joint 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 in accordance with PN-EN 1610. The positioning cage ensures centric alignment of the connected pipes, and the straps allow for precise diameter adjustment.

Application and benefits:

• Versatility: Ideal for connecting pipes of different construction and material – without the need for additional elements.
• Flexibility: Compensates for differences in outer pipe diameters and movements caused by temperature changes or ground settlement.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM sleeve ensures reliable sealing.
• Durability: Steel alloy straps guarantee a stable and durable connection, resistant to shear loads.
• Easy installation: Simple construction allows for quick and easy installation – especially in hard-to-reach places.
• Oil resistance: Oil-resistant version (VPC520OEL_0000) made of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemicals contained in wastewater and soil. This is crucial in the case of industrial connections or areas exposed to pollution.

The VPC joint is an optimal solution for both professional installers looking for a reliable and versatile element for building drainage systems, and for end customers who value the durability and safety of installations. Thanks to the wide range of outer diameters (in this case 450-520mm) it minimizes the need to have many different types of joints on construction site or in the warehouse.
