Abstract: A method for identifying a jet regulator (1) with improved precision and robustness is provided using a captured photo of a hole pattern (4) of an outlet structure (3) of the jet regulator (1). The captured photo is first compared with different stored hole pattern types (15) in a computer-implemented manner in a first step, and based on an evaluation of the respective degree of a match between the captured photo and each hole pattern type (15), the hole pattern type (15) on which the captured hole pattern (4) is based is ascertained. Subsequently, in another step, the ascertained hole pattern type (15) and the captured hole pattern (4) are examined for deviations in a computer-implemented manner, and identification information which uniquely identifies the jet regulator (1) is ascertained in a computer-implement manner using detected or undetected deviations and is optionally output.

Abstract: A sanitary functional unit having a sleeve-shaped insert cartridge insertable into the pipe-shaped fixture outlet of a sanitary outlet fixture is provided. The insert cartridge has a water inlet at the cartridge circumference and a jet former having flow guiding walls oriented transversely to the cartridge longitudinal axis provided in the water outlet. The functional unit deflects the water jet flowing in from the axial direction such that water subsequently flows out of the fixture outlet in a nearly radial direction. The functional unit has a jet former, provided in the region of the water outlet, supporting flow guiding walls that are oriented transversely and perpendicularly to the cartridge longitudinal axis. Since the functional unit is oriented approximately coaxially to the fixture outlet, it also does not project beyond the pipe circumference of the fixture outlet.

Abstract: A plumbing spout device which has a jet regulating device is provided, which is situated on an outflow side from an upstream attachment screen in a direction of flow. The jet regulating device is provided in the form of a perforated plate having at least a perforated field in at least a partial area thereof. The spout device has a mounting sleeve that supports the jet regulating device on an outflow side sleeve end area thereof, and the mounting sleeve is joined to the water spout of the plumbing spout fitment via a screwed, clip, detent, adhesive or welded connection. The spout device has a comparatively low installation height that does not significantly limit design possibilities when designing associated spout fitments. The spout device also makes it possible to achieve a high jet quality and a good jet pattern.

Abstract: A method of producing a fluid stream regulator involves determining a flow rate class and flow type for fluid stream regulator, and determining whether the fluid stream regulator includes a flow regulator. A diffuser plate system is selected based on the determined flow rate class, a shell body is selected based on the determined flow type, and a wire-mesh screen is selected based on the determination of whether the fluid stream regulator includes a flow regulator. The selected diffuser plate system, shell body, and wire-mesh screen each have a color coding indicating a characteristic of the component.
