Product description
Overview
- 1 16-mm Sanfix PE‑Xc pipe and adapter elbow, 16 x ½ inch
- 2 Insert with membrane and sealing elements, pre-assembled in the pipe interrupter casing
- 3 Top stem (serves as outlet pipe in front of the wall), pre-assembled
- 4 Protective plugs in the top stem, pre-assembled
- 5 16-mm Sanfix PE‑Xc pipe and connection screw fitting
- 6 Concealed pipe interrupter, pre-assembled
Potable water connection
To prevent the intrusion of non-potable water into the potable water pipelines, concealed pipe interrupters are installed between the mixer tap and an inlet. The concealed pipe interrupters can be used as a safeguarding device if the following points are ensured during installation:
The direction of flow runs from diagonally downward to vertically downwards. Pipelines are not allowed to rise downstream from the pipe interrupter.
The pipe interrupter must be installed at least 150 mm above the highest possible non-potable water level.
There must not be any shut-off downstream from the pipe interrupter.
The pipe interrupter must not be involved in the pressure test with an installed membrane, the membrane is destroyed during a pressure test and the pipe interrupter cannot perform its function. If a pressure test is required, the insert with the membrane must be exchanged for a connecting piece (model 6161.83).
Pipe interrupters may only be used with compatible components.
For the applicable directives, see Regulations from section: Potable water protection .

Assembly
Mounting the pipe interrupter
Preparations
-
Ensure that the pipe interrupter is mounted at least 150 mm above the highest possible non-potable water level.
-
Note that the flow direction must run from diagonal to vertical downwards.
-
Make sure that the line does not continue to rise downstream from the pipe interrupter.
-
Make sure that you have the required accessories (rosette, connection sets) to be able to carry out the mounting completely.
-
Make sure that the protective plug is still on the top stem during assembly.
Connecting the water inlet
Depending on the type of installation, the connection of the mixing tap and the pipe interrupter can made with metal pipes and a press connection or with plastic pipes.
-
Seal the adapter elbow and twist it into the connection of the mixer tap.
-
Push the union nut and the clamping ring onto the water carrying pipe.
-
Push the pipe onto the support body of the adapter elbow as far as it will go and screw it together with the union nut.
Connecting and tiling
-
Install the top stem.
-
Ensure that the sealing element is correctly in place.
-
Insert the protective plug.
NOTICE!To ensure the proper functioning of the pipe interrupter, the protective plug must be removed before commissioning.
-
Push the union nut and the clamping ring onto the water carrying pipe.
-
Push the narrow end of the screw fitting into the pipe as far as it will go.
-
Push the free end of the screw fitting into the connection of the pipe interrupter.
-
Screw the connection together.
INFO!Euro cone connections are not compatible.
-
Adjust the pipe interrupter.
NOTICE!Pay attention to the correct flow direction (direction of arrow, from top to bottom).
-
Mark the drill holes.
-
Drill the holes.
-
Screw the pipe interrupter tight with two screws (SW 4.5 up to 5).
-
Grout the pipe interrupter and the connection lines.
-
Integrate the pipe interrupter with mounted sealing collar into the bonded sealing.
-
Then tile the wall.
If the shaft top is too long:
-
Remove the protective plugs.
-
Shorten the shaft top with a fine-toothed saw. Take care to shorten to the proper length. The shaft top must be flush with the height of the tiles.
-
If impurities have managed to enter the shaft top during the work, the clean the shaft top.
If the shaft top has not been shortened and it is ensured that no more contamination can enter the shaft top:
-
Remove the protective plug.
-
Hold the rosette with the open side facing downwards.
-
Mount the rosette on the shaft top.
Connecting the tub inlet
To connect the bathtub inlet:
-
Push the union nut and the clamping ring onto the water carrying pipe.
-
Push the narrow end of the screw fitting into the pipe as far as it will go.
-
Push the free end of the screw fitting into the connection elbow.
-
Use the union nut to screw the pipe tight at the connection elbow.
INFO!Euro cone connections are not compatible.
-
Insert the connection elbow into the overflow unit. The connection elbow must latch into the overflow unit with a noticeable clicking sound.
Leakage test
If a pressure test is required, the insert with the membrane must be exchanged for a connecting piece, model 6161.83. The pressure test should be carried out before connecting the drain set.
-
Check for visible leaks.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning or replacing the insert and membrane
NOTICE!
Product damage due incorrect maintenance
Limescale deposits can destroy or be detrimental to the functioning of the membrane in the pipe interrupter insert and must therefore be removed. If the insert and the membrane in the pipe interrupter are either not or incorrectly cleaned, then the product's functionality may be restricted or destroyed. Non-potable water can contaminate the potable water.
To ensure the constant functionality of the pipe interrupter:
The limescale deposits must be removed regularly by qualified personnel.
In the case of extensive limescale deposits, have the insert and the membrane replaced by trade professionals.
Removal for cleaning
-
Remove rosette.
-
Grip and pull the insert out of the casing using multigrip pliers horizontally.
Small amount of limescale and contamination
-
Carefully rinse the insert.
Large amount of limescale and contamination
-
Use a new insert (model 6161.82).
Installation after cleaning
-
Hold the cleaned or new insert with multigrip pliers and insert into the casing of the pipe interrupter from the front.
NOTICE!Pay attention to the correct flow direction (direction of arrow, from top to bottom).
-
Re-mount the rosette.
Cleaning the rosette
The rosette can be cleaned by every user, if necessary. The rosette may only be cleaned using mild cleaning agents containing soap and a soft cloth.
Scouring milk and cleaning agents or disinfectants containing the following ingredients may not be used:
alcohol
Ammoniac
hydrochloric acid
phosphoric acid
acetic acid
Disposal
