The design and function of the new
Hebefix plus allows use in all customary
pre-wall systems and directly at
the drainage source within a room.
Produced in Steinhagen, Germany, this
high performance pump’s intelligent
installation, maintenance technology
and elegant design sets a new standards
for compact lifting stations. Plumbers
and clients will certainly appreciate the
choice of Hebefix plus for installation and
maintenance.
Until now, modern and sophisticated
bathroom design was narrowly limited
by wastewater drainage problems,
particularly for renovation projects or
when fitting additional bathrooms in
basements or attics. In these cases, the
shower and bath needed to be connected
with sufficient gradient to the central
wastewater pipe and had to be positioned
accordingly, preventing many design ideas.
The new Hebefix plus system eliminates
obstacles so clients can arrange the
shower, bath and basin anywhere they
please.
This new compact drainage disposal
unit ensures wastewater free of sewage
drains reliably downpipe. Thanks to
the small tank depth, the Hebefix plus
disappears into any pre-wall installation,
small built-ins or base cabinets. The
attractive design blends well with modern
bathroom fittings, giving designers and
home owners the option of installing the
system openly.
The pressure outlet can be fitted on the
right or left of the unit and the five inlet
options (two on the right, two on the left
and one from above) offer the greatest
possible flexibility during installation.
Hebefix plus system also provides
protection from backflow when fitted
below the backflow level. These features,
along with the robust ABS container
casing and smooth surface, ensure the
apparatus’ long and hygienic lifespan.
SUitable for flat Shower trayS
Very flat shower trays, especially in
rooms with low ceiling heights including
basement bathrooms, pose problems
when drained using a compact lifting
station. The Hebefix plus reliably drains
grey water from very flat shower trays
and the necessary installation height of a
shower tray is only 4.3 inches (110 mm).

plus to guarantee reliable drainage of all
wastewater with a delivery height of 22
feet (7 m) and a maximum flow volume of
1,717 gal/h (6.5 m 3 /h). An activated carbon
filter that is integrated in the casing
cover ensures odourless operation. For
pre-wall installation, the ventilation insert
in the delivery scope ensures odourless
and reliable ventilation.
The Hebefix plus contains an alarm
control for safe operation that warns the
operator of high water level in the tank. A
dry contact allows control of a visual or
audible signal.
The fully-wired, pre-assembled apparatus
is delivered complete with the necessary
pressure connections, the ventilation
system with an activated carbon filter,
a check valve, and rubber collars. The
Hebefix plus is ‘type approved’ by the
state testing authority in Germany in
accordance with DIN EN 12050-2. In the
mid-term, this upgraded system will
replace the Hebefix V drainage disposal
unit, which was designed exclusively for
pre-wall installation.
