Installation In High Groundwater / Earth Moisture Areas - Kessel Staufix SWA Anleitung Für Einbau, Bedienung Und Wartung

The second gasket must be inserted in the
cover. Important is that the sealing lip and
centering tip are pointing up. The centering
tip is to be inserted in the appropriate reces-
sed area as seen in illustration 5. During in-
stallation the valve should remain clean and
it should be assured that no foreign objects
such as trash or debris are in the valve.
Recessed cover for on-site tiling (maximum
tile height including tile adhesive – 15mm)
The recessed cover (series X) allows the flo-
oring material (tile for example) to also be in-
stalled in the recessed cover so that the fi-
nished cover matches the flooring surface. If
tiles will be placed into the recessed cover it
is important that the proper adhesive materi-
al is used and the following instructions are
followed: Tiles
a) The inner surface of the recessed cover
should be coated with a bonding material
which sticks to ABS (such as PCI base
coat 303). After this surface coat has pro-
perly dried the tile surface can now be laid
into the recessed upper section by using
a silicon adhesive. This method is ideal
for thinner tiles since the remaining height
can be built up with the tile mortar.

b) Installing tiles with PCI-Silcoferm S (self
adhering silicone). This method is ideal
for thicker tiles since a thinner adhesive
surface is used.
Tiling with natural stone such as granite,
marble or agglomarmor
a) The inner surface of the recessed cover
should be coated with a boding material
which sticks to ABS (such as PCI base
coat 303). The natural stone surface can
then be laid into the covers using an ap-
propriate adhesive (for example PCI-Car-
ralit)
b) Installing a natural stone surface a with a
special silicon such as PCI-Carraferm.
Follow the same instructions as in the
'Tiles' section above.
2.2 Extended Depth Installation (Nr. 83071)
If the Staufix SWA is to be installed in an
high groundwater or high earth moisture
area then the instructions in Section 2.4 must
be followed. Depending on the required
depth of installation, either one or two of the
KESSEL extension sections can be used.
Connection gaskets are supplied with the
83071 and should be properly lubricated as
stated previously. In order to reach the pro-
22
perly installation height when using extensi-
on section(s) it may be required to shorted
When an extension section (art. no. 83070)
is used, care must be taken that the cable
conduit is routed above the concrete slab.the
top upper section.
Caution! Using 3 or more extension sections
does not allow proper access to the valve for
service or repair and is not recommended.
2.3 Installation in Exposed Pipes (Nr.
The Staufix for exposed pipe installation is
73100.10, 73125.10, 73150.10, 73200.10)
supplied with a protective cover to prevent
dust and debris of entering the system and
to also help prevent any type of damage to
the system. This protected cover is not
water tight. To remove the protective cover
simple lift both clips on one side of the cover
Before the black lower part of the protective
hood is dismantled, the feed and drain co-
vers must be removed.
