Description
The
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling is a versatile
65mm flexible pipe coupling for joining and repairing compatible plain-ended pipework. This
60-70mm flexible coupling is commonly used as a
65mm waste pipe connector and provides a practical
flexible PVC repair coupling for suitable waste, soil, vent and low-pressure drainage applications. The VE060-70 accommodates compatible pipe outside diameters from 60mm to 70mm. Its flexible straight-coupling design makes it useful for repair, alteration and maintenance work where a rigid system-specific socket is difficult to use.
VIPSeal VE060-70 Flexible Coupling
The
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling is the genuine product reference for this 60–70mm straight coupling within VIPSeal’s flexible PVC sanitary coupling range. The
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling is commonly described as a 65mm or 2½ inch fitting, although actual pipe outside diameter should always be checked before installation.
Choosing the VIPSeal VE060-70 Flexible Coupling
Choose the
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling where both pipe outside diameters fall between 60mm and 70mm. Measure both pipe ends rather than relying entirely on nominal descriptions such as 65mm or 2½ inch, particularly where different pipe materials or older systems are being connected.
Installing the VIPSeal VE060-70 Flexible Coupling
Before fitting the
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling, clean both pipe surfaces and remove dirt, grease, burrs and loose material. Position the coupling centrally across the joint and tighten both clamp bands evenly. Published technical data for this flexible PVC range specifies a tightening torque of 6Nm.
65mm Flexible Pipe Coupling
The VE060-70 is commonly used as a
65mm flexible pipe coupling for compatible waste, soil, vent and drainage pipework. A
65mm flexible pipe coupling provides greater tolerance than a rigid connection because it can accommodate compatible pipe outside diameters throughout the 60–70mm range.
65mm Flexible Pipe Coupling Applications
The
65mm flexible pipe coupling is particularly useful for maintenance, refurbishment and pipe repairs where two plain-ended sections need to be joined without rebuilding the surrounding system.
60-70mm Flexible Coupling
The
60-70mm flexible coupling is selected by actual pipe outside diameter. Both ends of the straight coupling cover the same stated diameter range. This makes the
60-70mm flexible coupling suitable for joining compatible pipes with small differences in external diameter.
Selecting a 60-70mm Flexible Coupling
Both pipes should sit comfortably between 60mm and 70mm outside diameter. If either pipe falls outside the stated range, select a different coupling or stepped adaptor rather than forcing the VE060-70 onto unsuitable pipework.
65mm Waste Pipe Connector
The VE060-70 can be used as a
65mm waste pipe connector for compatible plain-ended waste and low-pressure pipe systems. A
65mm waste pipe connector of this type can be particularly useful on commercial waste installations, refurbishment jobs and repair work where rigid fittings are unavailable or awkward to install.
Using a 65mm Waste Pipe Connector
When using the product as a
65mm waste pipe connector, confirm the actual pipe outside diameter and support the surrounding pipework correctly so excessive movement or strain is not transferred into the flexible joint.
Flexible PVC Repair Coupling
The legacy VE060-70 range is manufactured as a
flexible PVC repair coupling using thermoplastic flexible PVC. The
flexible PVC repair coupling can be used to join or repair compatible pipework where a conventional rigid fitting would be difficult to install.
Flexible PVC Repair Coupling Construction
The flexible PVC body conforms around compatible pipe surfaces while stainless-steel clamp bands mechanically secure both ends of the coupling. This construction allows the
flexible PVC repair coupling to be installed without solvent cement and also allows future removal where maintenance access is required.
Pipe Repair and Maintenance
VE060-70 is useful where a damaged section of compatible pipe needs to be removed and replaced with a short new length. Once sound pipe ends have been prepared, the coupling can bridge the joint and provide a flexible mechanical connection between the two sections.
Compatible Pipe Materials
Published VIPSeal flexible PVC coupling information lists compatibility with suitable pipe materials including:
- Plastic
- Cast iron
- Ductile iron
- Steel
- Copper
- Lead
Actual outside diameter and application suitability remain more important than material description alone.
0.6 Bar Pressure Rating
Published technical information for this VIPSeal flexible PVC coupling range gives a pressure rating of
0.6 bar / 8.7psi. The product is intended for suitable low and non-pressure waste, soil, vent and drainage applications rather than general high-pressure water services.
6Nm Tightening Torque
The published tightening torque for the flexible PVC straight-coupling range is
6Nm. Using a suitable torque-controlled tool helps both clamp bands to be tightened consistently around the pipework.
Working Temperature Range
The published constant working temperature range for this legacy flexible PVC coupling range is
-10°C to +38°C. Applications outside the stated operating conditions should be checked for suitability before installation.
VE060-70 Straight Coupling Applications
The
VIPSeal VE060-70 flexible coupling can be useful for:
- 65mm waste pipe connections
- Joining compatible plain-ended pipes
- Repairing damaged pipework
- Waste and soil pipe alterations
- Vent pipe connections
- Low-pressure drainage repairs
- Connecting short replacement pipe sections
- Maintenance and refurbishment work
Legacy VE Flexible Coupling Range
The VE060-70 belongs to VIPSeal’s earlier flexible PVC coupling range. It should therefore be listed using the VE-series specification rather than automatically inheriting the specifications of newer VIPSeal EPDM VDC or plumbing couplings.
