  • a torque to this torque to intercept, in the cylindrical guide and / or on the sleeve an anti-rotation element arranged. This anti-rotation element ensures that acting on the plumbing torque in the fastener is introduced and intercepted, so that the sanitary fitting is not twisted.
  • a manufacturing technology particularly simple embodiment of the rotation is thereby ensuring that the anti-rotation element as a projection in the cylindrical Guide and associated recess is formed in the sleeve.
  • the anti-rotation element ensures that the in the cylindrical guide inserted sleeve is no longer opposite to the cylindrical Twisting guide.
  • This type of anti-rotation can be understood reverse with respect to the arrangement of recess and projection.
  • the inventive Sanitary fitting designed in that for preventing rotation of the cylindrical guide a variable in radius - in particular elliptical - cross-section and the sleeve has a correspondingly adapted cross-section.
  • a variable in radius - in particular elliptical - cross-section and the sleeve has a correspondingly adapted cross-section.
  • Twist between sleeve and cylindrical guide is only possible if the cylindrical guide and the sleeve are circular cylindrical, guaranteed the embodiment described readily a rotation.
  • cross sections Of course, not only ellipses are conceivable, but also further example conceivable that the cylindrical guide and the sleeve has an octagonal cross-section exhibit.
  • a secure fit of the sleeve in the cylindrical guide and protection against easy lifting of the sleeve from the cylindrical guide is ensured by that the insertion length of the sleeve is about twice the diameter of the cylindrical Leadership corresponds.
  • the protection against for easy lifting between the cylindrical guide and the sleeve an axial acting latching element arranged.
  • this locking element provides during insertion the sleeve in the cylindrical guide at the same time for a surface pressure between the upper end of the sleeve or the lower end of the fitting body and the upper end of the fastener, so that a sealing effect approximately opposite Splash water is guaranteed.
  • the inlet can be permanently connected to the fitting body and more flexible Be formed hose.
  • This embodiment is particularly simple, since the fitting body must not be adapted to the known fitting bodies.
  • the fitting body with the associated with him hose-shaped inlets released from the fastener and either to the side or in the sink in a limited by the hose length Distance stored.

  • a here pivotable outlet arm 5 fluidly connected to the outflow channel, not shown.
  • the illustrated in Fig. 1 embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1 is around a single-lever, one-hole mixer tap.
  • Fig. 1 is further clearly serving for attachment to a pad fastener 7 recognizable.
  • the fastening element 7 is in the illustrated embodiment a sanitary fitting 1 circular-cylindrical running, has at his upper end a flange 8 and is externally provided with a thread 9. On the thread 9 is finally screwed a nut 10, so that by the interaction the flange 8 and the nut 10, the fastener 7 with the here as a worktop 11 trained pad is permanently connected.
  • FIG. 2 again shows the fastening element 7 with flange 8, thread 9 and Nut 10, arranged in a bore of a countertop 11.
  • the fastener 7 is located in the connected State in frictional engagement with the inlets 3, 4 standing receptacle 12 at one in a circular cylindrical guide 13 insertable sleeve 14 in a at the top of the Sleeve 14 provided mounting flange 15.
  • the circular cylindrical guide 13 is adapted to the sleeve 14 so that the frictional engagement between the circular cylindrical Guide 13 and the sleeve 14 is greater than the frictional engagement between the Receiving 12 in the mounting flange 15 and the inlets 3, 4.
  • a sanitary fitting is the mounting flange 15th designed such that the inlets 3, 4 known from the prior art sanitary fittings stand in the inserted state in frictional engagement with the receptacle 12. This results in the possibility of the fitting body from the state of Technique of known sanitary fittings only by replacing the fastener 7 further develop according to the invention, so that these sanitary fittings from the fastener 7 can be lifted out and put aside, and thus no Display obstacle more in the swivel range of a window, for example.
