Abstract: A sanitary appliance for use, for example, as a kitchen water control and temperature mixing valve, has a base part which is fixed to a plate and a housing surrounding the base part. The base part receives all functional parts of the appliance but is not visible from the outside. A receiving area for a mixer cartridge is provided in the base part, in addition to a bottom for feed pipes and optionally drainpipes. The mixer cartridge and the feed pipes are connected by a mechanism of an interchangeable intermediate element. The appliance can be adapted to various operational modes and mixer cartridges by replacing the intermediate element.

Abstract: A thermostatic valve for sanitary fittings contains an extensible material element, which is exposed to the temperature of the mixed water resulting from the mixing of hot and cold water. The extensible material element is operatively connected to two closing bodies each associated with a valve and which move simultaneously when the mixed water temperature changes.

Abstract: A temperature-controlled mixer valve contains a disk control for determining the quantity of mixed water flowing out of the valve. To the disk control is connected a regulating unit, which determines the mixed water temperature. The control disk is movable with respect to the fixed distributor disk in a first degree of freedom for determining the mixed water quantity. By control disk movement in a second degree of freedom, the desired temperature of the thermostatic valve is modified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary appliance comprising a base part which is fixed to a plate (1,2) and a housing (22) surrounding said base part (3). The base part receives all functional parts of the appliance but is not visible from the outside. A receiving area for a mixer cartridge (7) is provided in the base part, in addition to a bottom (14) for feed pipes and optionally drainpipes. The mixer cartridge (7) and the feed pipes are connected by means of an interchangeable intermediate element (18). The appliance can be adapted to various operational modes and mixer cartridges by replacing said intermediate element.
