Oil-resistant flexible joint VPC DN/OD570-640mm, for drainage pipes made of various materials (cast iron, PP, PE, PVC, stoneware, concrete, GRP, other smooth, corrugated, ribbed) VPC640OEL_0020

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, as well as smooth, corrugated and ribbed pipes. It allows connection of elements with different outer diameters, which significantly facilitates installation work and eliminates the need for additional adapters. Using this connector guarantees a tight and durable connection.

Design and application

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, and the positioning basket centers the connected elements. The straps allow precise adjustment of the pipe diameter on both sides of the connector. The oil-resistant version is characterized by the construction of steel elements made of stainless steel V4A (1.4404), which ensures resistance to the action of oils, gasoline and aggressive chemical substances present in wastewater and soil.

Advantages and benefits

• Versatility: Connects pipes made of different materials and with different outer diameters without the need for additional elements.
• Tightness: The double sealing profile of the cuff guarantees reliable sealing according to PN-EN 1610 standard.
• Chemical resistance: The oil-resistant version, thanks to the use of V4A steel, is resistant to the action of oils, gasoline and chemical substances contained in wastewater and soil.
• Easy installation: The connector design allows quick and secure installation without the need for specialized tools (although the dedicated Funke VPC mounting kit facilitates work).
• Flexibility: The connector compensates for small shifts and unevenness in the installation, reducing stress and the risk of damage.
• Durability: High-quality materials used ensure long life and reliable connection.
• Safety: Bilateral diameter adjustment ensures secure transfer of shear loads.

The VPC connector is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a durable and reliable way to connect drainage elements. Its versatility saves time and costs associated with selecting the appropriate adapters.
