Abstract: A filtration cartridge faucet assembly contains a filtration body that is concealed beneath a sink deck through the use of an escutcheon mount. The escutcheon mount permits access to a renewable filtration core from above the sink deck while concealing and protecting the filtration body.

Abstract: A cartridge for sanitary fittings including at least one stationary and one movable valve disk enclosed by a housing. The stationary valve disk is adjacent to a base of the housing and has at least one channel for water intake with a recess on the side of the stationary valve disk facing the base. This recess is coaxial with a passage in the base of the housing and accommodates a sealing ring which is also lodged in the passage. A rim is formed on the surface of the base which faces the stationary valve disk whereby the rim encircles the passage and extends into the recess of the stationary valve disk.

Abstract: A valve has a housing provided with a fixed inlet disk in the housing formed with throughgoing water-inlet ports and a fixed outlet disk transversely spaced in the housing from the inlet disk and formed with deflecting chambers aligned transversely with the inlet ports. A movable valve disk in the housing between the fixed disks is formed with throughgoing passages alignable transversely between the respective inlet ports and deflecting chambers and has a side forming with the housing an outlet recess. Toothed steps are formed on the side of the movable valve disk to reduce noise.

Abstract: An assembly is provided for the prevention of scalding in showers and other such installations. The assembly includes a valve assembly within a mixed water supply line and a temperature sensitive element for controlling the operation of the valve assembly. The valve assembly is preferably designed to allow some leakage when in the closed position.

Abstract: A sanitary single-control mixer fitting with regulating elements is formed having at least two discs, of which one serves as a static valve seat disc and includes two inlet ports for cold and hot water, as well as an outlet port. The second disc is shiftably mounted on the valve seat disc and includes a mixing chamber cavity, which is sufficiently dimensioned to partially or completely connect the inlet ports with the outlet port of the valve seat disc. The mixing chamber cavity in the shiftable disc is of asymmetrical form in relation to a symmetrical perforation pattern of the inlets and outlet parts in the static valve seat disc so that the usual mixed water temperature ranges, which constitute a so-called comfort zone, and therefore, the corresponding mid-position of the mixing chamber cavity is designed to reduce the free flow cross sectional area of the inlet port for the cold water but the mixing chamber cavity is greater than the cross sectional area of the hot water inlet.

Abstract: A sanitary water valve of the disc valve type is provided with a noise damping assembly which is arranged in the recess of a disc is disclosed. The noise damping assembly is preferably in the form of a screen, is arranged and constructed to be self-retaining or self-clipping and requires no latching members for mounting the noise damping assembly with the recess of the disc.
