VPC Pipe Coupling

The perfect connection!

The Funke VPC® Pipe Coupling allows pipes of the same nominal diameters (from 100mm to 1070mm), but made of different materials, to be connected to one another safely, reliably, and with the best possible results, despite having different outer diameters.

The Funke VPC® Pipe Coupling consists of a reducible sealing sleeve made of elastomer rubber, a centrically reducible securing cage made of plastic, and two stainless-steel bands for applying force to achieve a uniform circumferential adjustment.

Reliable sealing according to DIN EN 1610

The sealing sleeve has a multiple double sealing profile for really reliable sealing in accordance with DIN EN 1610. Its conically deformable middle section and the integrated band guide channels on both sides allow for centric and stepless reduction adjustment of the individual orientation of both contact areas. The reduction process takes place uniformly over the entire circumference, while the jointed middle section enables a separate reduction to be obtained on each side of the pipe coupling.

The VPC® Pipe Coupling is available in two design formats.

VPC-Pipe Coupling 100 mm – 1070 mm
VPC-Pipe Coupling; oil-resistant 100 mm – 1070 mm
VPC-Pipe Coupling; special solutions, concrete pipe adaptors

The advantages in practice:

Fast and easy installation
High flexibility
Reduction of warehousing costs for distributors
Equal adjustment suit various surfaces
No additional bushes required when assembling a VPC Pipe Coupling with an outer diameter of up to 382mm
With DIBt Approval Z-42.5-450
Assembly kit box available as an accessory

Effective length:	162 – 200 mm
Material:	Stainless steel bands 1.4301 (V2A) Sealing sleeve made out of ethylene-propylene-diene (monomer) rubber (EPDM) Securing cage made out of polyamide
Area of use:	Allows equal adjustment to suit various surfaces
Installation guideline:	According to the manufacturer’s instructions
Installation conditions:	According to the manufacturer’s specifications
Accessories:	Tangential Spanner for VPC 275 – 995 necessary for professional installation In the VPC 1010 to 1070, hybrid tensioners are integrated in the VPC®-Pipe Coupling for mounting Torque Wrench for VPC 100 – 2400 Set of reversible ratchets for VPC 100 – 270 Box spanner for VPC 100 – 150 Alternatively a complete accessories set is available in a VPC Assembly Kit Box
Special characteristics:	Connects pipes of different outside diameters and pipes made of different materials and different wall structures (corrugated, ribbed, smooth) Bridging large diameter differentials without the use of additional compensation rings (bushes) Stepless adjustment on both sides, while maintaining security against shear loads according to DIN 4060 respectively DIN EN 295 Test pressure tightness up to 2.5 bar – MPA NRW tested (up to VPC 850) Low stock storage costs, because only a few types are needed to meet all operational situations The reduction process takes place centrically, uniformly, and separately on each side of the pipe coupling (two dimensional) Securing cage and sealing sleeve retain a neutral position during the diameter adjustment process, which means that sliding or folding of the rubber can be reliably avoided 2 or 4 tension bands respectively, made of stainless steel with click locking, ensure reliable, rapid, and uniform assembly Thanks to the design of the tension bands and the size of the contact surface at the securing cage (min. 60 mm wide), the force application during the diameter adaptation process is spread evenly onto the pipe over the entire circumference A bedding channel on both sides for the tension bands ensures reliable and secure band guidance Multiple double sealing profile on each side Large surface cylindrical contact and sealing area (60 mm per side)
