  • Patent number: 11529026
    Abstract: A wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device with integrated valve. More particularly, a wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device includes a wall-mountable base body and a valve fastenable to the base body. The sanitary conduit connection device according to an illustrative embodiment includes a wall-mountable base body having a receiving sleeve and a water inlet duct which, with an inlet duct outflow, leads peripherally into the receiving sleeve, an electrically controllable valve having a cylindrical valve cartridge which is axially insertable into the receiving sleeve and in which a valve unit is located, which valve cartridge has an electrical valve connection unit on a first end face and a pipe connection coupling on a second end face and includes, on a peripheral side, a valve inlet opening which is capable of being coupled to the inlet duct outflow in a fluid-tight manner, and a fastening unit for fastening the valve cartridge in a fixed position in the receiving sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8857460
    Abstract: A valve insert for a sanitary fitting can be inserted as an insert into a recess in the housing of the sanitary fitting and interacts there with lines of the sanitary fitting that open into the recess. The valve insert contains a base element which receives and holds the moving parts of the valve contained in the valve insert. An adapter element which is preferably injection-molded from plastics material and contains a valve inlet opening and a valve outlet opening can be connected in an exchangeable manner to this base part. The openings interact with the lines that open into the recess. A water guide leads from these two openings to the valve. By exchanging the adapter element, the valve insert can be used for different applications. Preferably, the valve seat itself can also be arranged in the adapter element.

  • Publication number: 20120024988
    Abstract: The invention relates to a jet outlet element for a sanitary fitting which allows outlet of a defined gushing jet from the sanitary fitting. The sanitary outlet element is configured as a flat element having two compartments, a water inlet compartment and a water outlet compartment. A narrowed section is interposed between the two compartments and accommodates a flow rectifier. Said flow rectifier rectifies the as yet non-directional flow of the water in the inlet compartment and guides it in a controlled manner to the outlet compartment from where it emerges through the slotted outlet opening.

  • Publication number: 20070151613
    Abstract: In the case of a sanitary fitting, an operating grip is pushed on the operating shaft of a mixer cartridge. To fix the operating grip a locking device is proposed, which engages on the locking element located on the operating grip by means of a locking element on the fitting. There is as such no direct security lock between the grip and operating shaft, but between operating grip and valve body.
