nual and follow all instructions!

1.1 Application of the Staufix
The KESSEL Staufix® SWA backwater valve
is designed to be installed in wastewater drai-
nage pipes with or without raw sewage. The
backwater valve prevents wastewater from
backing up the drainage pipe during backwa-
ter / flooding. The SWA should be kept in good
operating condition and should be accessible
at all times. During normal conditions the back-
water flap is in the vertical, free handing posi-
tion. Wastewater draining out of the building
pushes the flap open and is allowed to flow
through the SWA and out of the building. The
SWA is equipped with a manual flap locking
valve which can be used to fully lock the flap
shut – allowing no wastewater in either direc-
tion to pass through the valve. In the case that
the drainage pipes connected to the Staufix®
SWA will not be used over extended periods of
time it is recommended that the flap is secure-
ly locked with the locking lever. Important is
that when the wastewater pipes return to ser-
vice that the flap is unlocked. DIN EN 12056
and DIN EN 13564 should be followed which
regulated the drainage of building and use of
® SW
backwater valves.
1.2 Application Controfix®
The KESSEL Controfix® serves as the body
housing for all KESSEL Staufix® and Pumpfix
series backwater valves. The following instal-
lation instructions should be heeded. Since the
KESSEL Controfix® serves as a cleanout or
access to the drainage piping, the Controfix®
does not contain any backwater flaps and thus
does not offer any protection against backwa-
ter. Upgrade packages are available that can

be used to upgrade the Controfix® to any
KESSEL Staufix® or Pumpfix backwater val-
ves.
