[0001] Sanitary fitting and method for assembling a sanitary fitting

[0002] The present invention relates to a sanitary fitting and a method for assembling the sanitary fitting, which can be used in particular in connection with sinks and / or wash basins.

[0003] Sanitary fittings are used in sinks, wash basins, bathtubs, and / or showers to provide a liquid, particularly water, as needed. For this purpose, sanitary fittings may have a fitting housing with a spout and an outlet opening for the liquid. The fitting housing of the sanitary fitting can be attached to a support, for example, a worktop or a sink or wash basin. Furthermore, sanitary fittings may have a mixing valve through which cold water and hot water can be mixed to create mixed water at a desired mixed water temperature. Sanitary fittings are also known with which various liquids, such as mixed water, carbonated liquid, flavored liquid, filtered liquid, chilled liquid, and / or hot water, can be drawn.To guide cold water, hot water, mixed water, and / or other fluids through the sanitary fitting, a plastic water guide is installed in the fitting body, preventing contact between the fluids and the fitting body. This allows the fitting body to be made of a material that is not suitable for drinking water but is cost-effective, such as a zinc alloy. However, the plastic water guide requires a lot of space within the fitting body, which limits the design freedom of the fitting body.

[0014] The second plastic inner body allows the connection geometry for the mixing valve to be relocated from the main assembly chamber to the at least one secondary assembly chamber, enabling optimized water paths and reducing the installation space required in the main assembly chamber. This allows for greater design freedom for the valve housing, particularly in the area of ​​the main assembly chamber. The valve housing can have a smaller outer diameter, particularly in the area of ​​the main assembly chamber.

The third insert diameter of the third plastic inner body can (substantially) correspond to the secondary assembly space diameter of the at least one secondary assembly space. The third plastic inner body is arranged in the at least one secondary assembly space. The third plastic inner body is designed such that it can be arranged in the at least one secondary assembly space or inserted into the at least one secondary assembly space through a third assembly opening. The third plastic inner body can be fastened in the at least one secondary assembly space.The third plastic inner body is arranged in the at least one secondary assembly space such that the third plastic inner body extends from the at least one secondary assembly space into the main assembly space, so that the (first) liquid supply channel of the first plastic inner body is connected (in a liquid-conducting manner) to the (second) liquid supply channel of the third plastic inner body, and the (first) liquid drainage channel of the first plastic inner body is connected (in a liquid-conducting manner) to the (second) liquid drainage channel of the third plastic inner body. In particular, a first longitudinal end of the third plastic inner body can be arranged in the main assembly space, and a second longitudinal end of the third plastic inner body can be arranged in the at least one secondary assembly space. The third plastic inner body, in particular, has a connection geometry for the shut-off valve.The connecting geometry can, for example, be formed on the second longitudinal end of the third plastic inner body.

In particular, the second coupling geometry does not extend over the outer circumferential surface of the first plastic inner body in a direction orthogonal to the first insert longitudinal axis. This prevents the second coupling geometry from preventing the first plastic inner body from being inserted via the first assembly opening.

[0024] The third plastic inner body allows the connection geometry for the shut-off valve to be relocated from the main assembly chamber to at least one secondary assembly chamber, enabling optimized water paths and reducing installation space requirements in the main assembly chamber. This allows for greater design freedom for the valve housing, particularly in the area of ​​the main assembly chamber. The valve housing can have a smaller outer diameter, particularly in the area of ​​the main assembly chamber.

[0025] The first plastic inner body can have a hose feedthrough. The hose feedthrough can extend at least partially parallel to the first insert longitudinal axis.
