Application Staufix Swa; Application Controlfix; Contents Of Delivery - Kessel Staufix SWA Installation And Operating Manual

Dear Customer,
Before installing and commissioning this
KESSEL Staufix SWA or Controlfix , please
thoroughly read through this manual and
follow all instructions!
Please make sure that nothing was dama-
ged during the shipment of this item. In
case damage did occur during the ship-
ment, have the damages countersigned by
the carrier and contact your sales repre-
sentative.
We generally recommend the prospective
installation of a conduit pipe to enable a
later retrofitting.
1.1 Application of the Staufix SWA
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 back-
water / flooding. The SWA should be kept in
2020/01

good operating condition and should be ac-
cessible at all times. During normal conditions
the backwater flap is in the vertical, free han-
ding position. Wastewater draining out of the
building pushes the flap open and is allowed
to flow through the SWA and out of the buil-
ding. The SWA is equipped with a manual flap
locking valve which can be used to fully lock
the flap shut – allowing no wastewater in eit-
her direction 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 securely locked with the locking lever.
Important is that when the wastewater pipes
return to service that the flap is unlocked. DIN
EN 12056 and DIN EN 13564 should be follo-
wed which regulated the drainage of building
and use of backwater valves.

1.2 Application Controlfix

The KESSEL Controlfix 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 Controlfix serves as a cleanout
or access to the drainage piping, the Cont-
rolfix does not contain any backwater flaps
and thus does not offer any protection against
backwater. Upgrade packages are available
that can be used to upgrade the Controlfix to any
KESSEL Staufix or Pumpfix backwater valves.
