Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD520-590mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC590OEL_0020

Flexible connection of different materials – reliability and convenient installation

The Funke VPC flexible connector is a universal solution for connecting drainage pipes made of various materials – cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, as well as smooth, corrugated and ribbed pipes. This allows for flexible adaptation to existing infrastructure and minimizes the risk of problems related to differences in thermal expansion or corrosion. Using this connector guarantees a tight and durable connection.

Construction and principle of operation

The VPC connector consists of several key elements: an elastomeric sealing cuff made of EPDM (according to PN-EN 681-1 WC/60), a positioning basket made of durable plastic and two steel alloy straps. The cuff has a double sealing profile, ensuring reliability even in difficult conditions. The positioning basket centers the connected elements, and the straps allow for precise diameter adjustment. The entire construction provides flexibility and stability of the connection, preventing the elements from shifting during operation. The oil-resistant version is characterized by the use of V4A (1.4404) stainless steel, which increases its resistance to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances found in wastewater and soil.

Advantages and benefits

• Universality: The ability to connect pipes made of different materials eliminates the need to use many types of connectors.
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for differences in the outer diameters of the pipes and movements caused by temperature changes or mechanical loads.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the EPDM cuff guarantees reliable sealing in accordance with the PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Chemical resistance: The oil-resistant version (V4A) is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances.
• Easy installation: The simple construction allows for quick and trouble-free installation without the need for specialized tools (although a tangens key may be required for larger diameters).
• Durability: The use of high-quality materials ensures long life and reliability of the connection.
• Diameter range: The VPC connector covers a wide range of outer pipe diameters, eliminating the need to use additional sealing rings in many cases.

This connector is an ideal solution for both professional installers looking for a reliable and universal element for building drainage systems, and for end customers who value durability and ease of installation. Thanks to its construction, it minimizes the risk of leaks and ensures long-term operation of the drainage installation.
