Exposed Pipe Installation - Kessel Staufix SWA Installation And Operating Manual

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 4. 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
flooring material (tile for example) to also be
installed in the recessed cover so that the
finished cover matches the flooring surface.
If tiles will be placed into the recessed cover
it is important that the proper adhesive ma-
terial 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.

2. Installation
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 mate-
rial which sticks to ABS (such as PCI
base coat 303). The natural stone surfa-
ce can then be laid into the covers using
an appropriate adhesive (for example
PCI-Carralit)
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
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 re-
quired depth of installation, either one or
two of the KESSEL extension sections can
be used. Connection gaskets are included
and should be properly lubricated as stated
previously. In order to reach the properly in-
18
stallation height when using extension sec-
tion(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 sec-
tions does not allow proper access to the
valve for service or repair and is not recom-
mended.
2.3 Installation in Exposed Pipes
The Staufix for exposed pipe installation
is supplied with a protective cover to pre-
vent dust and debris of entering the system
and to also help prevent any type of dama-
ge 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 covers must be removed.
2.4 Installation in high groundwater /
earth moisture areas
In the case that the Staufix SWA for concre-
te slab installation is to be installed in a floor
slab which will be protected against ground-
