Protection Sealed In
Materials Tension and shear bands Engineered for optimum resistance in most soil conditions, VIPSeal™ heavy duty tension bands and shear bands are manufactured from 1.4301(304) austenitic stainless steel for general applications.
Elastomeric sleeves For higher corrosion or contaminated ground areas and marine environments, grade 1.4401(316) stainless steel should be specified to eliminate the need for protective tape.
All VIPSeal™ elastomeric sleeves are manufactured inhouse using the highest quality raw materials to create the finest EPDM, SBR, NBR and FKM synthetic rubber. As such, the coupling sleeves offer excellent resistance to sewerage and drainage effluent. Where hydrocarbons, fats, oils or greases may be present, nitrile rubber (NBR) should be used. VIPSeal™ also manufacture in FKM for applications where higher chemical resistance is required at special request. VIPSeal™ rubber components are kitemarked in compliance with BS EN 681-1.

Adaptor couplings (VAC)
0800 334 5547
For instances where there is a significant difference in the outside diameter of pipes, VIPSeal™ adaptor couplings are step moulded and fitted with two stainless steel tension bands providing a sealing solution that’s as quick to fit as it is robust. VAR Adaptor Couplings VAR VIPSeal™ adaptor couplings incorporate an extra wide tension band at one end to allow a secure connection from clay pipe to structured, twin wall or ribbed plastic pipe. Adaptor coupling applications: 3 Connection of pipes with a significantly different outside diameter 3 Connection of lateral to unadopted sewers 3 Connection of pipes to prefabricated structures e.g. manholes, inspection chambers and septic tanks

Fabricated & moulded bushes (VBC)
0800 334 5547
For use where pipe diameters differ significantly, VIPSeal™ bushes are engineered from the same high quality elastomeric rubber as our seals. Available in varying thicknesses, the bush is put over the smaller pipe to create a larger diameter which can then fit a standard (VSC), large (VLC) or extra wide (VSCW/VLCW) coupling to create a watertight seal. Most bushes are fabricated individually to meet the specific site requirement. Outside dimensions should be specified at time of ordering. Also available with nitrile sleeves. Add ‘N’ to product code when ordering. Please contact our customer services team for technical guidance.

Puddle Flanges (VPF) Watertight up to 10 bar and easy to install, FRANK puddle flanges have been designed specifically for the pressure-tight installation of pipelines in concrete walls, tanks, shafts, foundation plates, manholes and basements.
Installation
20 3200mm
Thanks to the easy-lock tension bands, installing a FRANK puddle flange takes only a few minutes. The puddle flange is mounted by hand on the pipe and secured with the supplied tension bands. A screwdriver or 6mm nut driver can be used to install the tension band on pipes of up to 315mm in diameter.
diameter
Installed on the external pipe surface to act as a barrier, they diffuse gases and hydrocarbons and are suitable for all standard steel, plastic, clay, concrete and cast iron pipes from DN20 to DN3200mm making them a perfect solution for any application.
For larger pipes, use a clamping tool. Our puddle flange installation kits (DN20 to DN315mm) now come with an easy-lock function that allows for even faster installation on the pipe.
Puddle flanges applications:
3 Tested up to 10 bar water pressure
3 To prevent water or gas getting into buildings via pipe penetrations
3 Easy to install, cost effective solution
3 Domestic and commercial developments
3 Can be installed in walls, floors and ceilings
3 Suitable for use with all smooth walled pipes provided that the pipe surface, at the point of installation, is clean, smooth and free of pores or surface imperfections 3 Most pipe sizes can be accommodated from 20mm through to 3200mm diameter
3 Good chemical resistance

Installation Standard / Extra wide couplings Insertion of a junction or repair of existing pipeline using standard or extra wide couplings. a. I f repairing an existing section of pipe - Cut section from the pipeline using pipe cutter or disc saw and remove. This should be about 20mm longer than the junction or new section of pipe to be installed. 1. M ark off half a coupling width from each joint on each pipe section. 2. L oosen the tension and shear bands on the coupling and then slide the coupling onto each end of the existing pipe line (lubricant not required). 3. Position the new junction or pipe length and centre a coupling over one joint at a time using the marks previously made then begin to tighten up the worm drives, starting with the tension bands followed by the shear band. 4. Check each tension and shear band with a torque wrench to the recommended torque shown on each coupling. Once completed, carefully tamp bedding under the pipeline if applicable.
Adaptor / Drain couplings Drain Couplings
Adaptor couplings
1. S lide the coupling fully onto the pipe, position the next pipe.
1. Slide coupling fully onto larger pipe.
2. M ark one pipe at half a coupling width from the joint. 3. C entre the coupling over the joint using the mark. 4. T ighten the tension bands to recommended torque and carefully tamp bedding under the pipeline.
2. M ark the smaller pipe at half a coupling width from the joint. 3. Insert smaller pipe up to the mark. 4. T ighten the tension bands to recommended torque and carefully tamp bedding under the pipeline.
Bushes Standard coupling using a bush 1. S lide the bush over the end of the smaller pipe, loosen the clamps on the coupling and place over the larger pipe.
4. After assembly of joint carefully tamp bedding under the pipeline.
2. B utt pipes together and slide over the coupling until the ends are level (lubricant not required). 3. T ighten central shear band and the tension bands to recommended torque.

Note: When used in conjunction with a water test, the end stopper should be securely braced.
Designed for life When installed correctly VIPSeal™ couplings have a design life of 100 years – exceeding that of the pipe. They are suitable for use above and below ground usually without additional protection due

to the high quality of materials used in their manufacture. In certain circumstances where high levels of chloride are present, either a protective tape or a coupling made from 1.4401(316) grade stainless steel will give satisfactory protection.
Sealing System In order for a coupling to perform well it needs to maintain an adequate sealing pressure between the coupling and the pipe. This is necessary to resist internal and external hydrostatic pressure as well as root intrusion. With VIPSeal™, this is achieved by a relatively simple system of applying pressure to the elastomeric sleeve through the use of tension bands . The use of a heavy duty single or multiple worm drive allows the radial sealing force to be equally spread around the circumference ensuring optimum sealing performance.
VIP-Polymers Ltd VIP Polymers Ltd operates a Quality Management System which complies with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2008. Company certificate number FM01685.
VIP Seal™ The elastomeric rubber used in VIPSeal™ couplings complies and is kitemarked to guidelines for pipework and pipelines under BS EN 681 Part1:1996. Company licence number KM 07729.
