With its new Variofix outlet socket, the drainage specialist KESSEL presents the first two-dimensional, flexible sliding adapter made of stainless steel. For complex construction projects in kitchens, swimming pools and commercial areas in particular, the product innovation enables the precise positioning of drainage solutions with multiple outlets as well as the optimal alignment of stainless steel channels. The flexible solution for individual dimensional requirements offers practical advantages:
- Sliding range of 5 mm per outlet socket in the xy direction
- Simplifies planning, dimensioning and installation
- Facilitates the alignment with adjacent components
- Prevents time-consuming welding and adjustment work on site
- Compensates for measurement and construction tolerances
The balancing element
For large-scale projects, usage requirements and local conditions often dictate the dimensions of stainless steel channels, which requires customised solutions. Precise dimensioning is a challenge for very long channels, several connection points or accurate positioning with respect to installations and doors. Construction and measurement tolerances can lead to deviations, which require time-consuming and costly welding work, adjustments or even newly made products. The Variofix stainless steel outlet socket is the first component on the market to allow the radial movement of stainless steel channels, floor trays and upper sections. “It can even compensate for larger deviations of up to 5 millimetres per socket in any direction – a simple and fast solution if the dimensions on site are not 100 percent correct,” explains Rainer Kübler, product manager for drainage technology at KESSEL.
Synergy in stainless steel – made by KESSEL
The Variofix outlet socket is available for the System 125 and 185 stainless steel channels, is supplied ready for installation and can be optionally used for all standard products as well as individual
solutions. “We have pooled our expertise from the development through to the implementation for this innovative and functional drainage technology in the stainless steel segment: The many years of experience that KESSEL Inox has with stainless steel products and that KESSEL has in the development of innovative and solution-oriented drainage technology. We are delighted when these synergy effects offer added value for our customers and we can simplify planning, dimensioning and installation with the stainless steel Variofix,” adds Kübler.
