  • This safety device contains one behind the other connected a backflow preventer and an aerator. Both are in the same picture.
  • WO 02/097202 discloses a trained for flush mounting sanitary fitting block having a receptacle for a mixer cartridge and a diverter. Between the mixer cartridge and the diverter, a backflow preventer is disposed, and between the diverter and the tray outlet, an aerator is arranged.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sanitary fitting block, which can be easily maintained with ease of manufacture and simple construction and meets all safety regulations.
  • the invention proposes a sanitary fitting block with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the sanitary fitting block proposed by the invention includes a water guide leading from the cold water inlet port to the at least one outlet port via the mixer means receptacle.
  • a second water supply leads from the hot water inlet port to the outlet port.
  • the receptacle for the mixer device is present.
  • a combination of a non-return valve and a pipe aerator is arranged, which is a functional combination. The two elements mentioned are arranged one behind the other.
  • the mixer means need not be located directly in the sanitary tap body. It is also possible that the receptacle is designed in such a way that the mixing device is arranged outside the fitting block, but is connected thereto via a surface with corresponding passage openings of the water guides.
  • the water ducts are at least partially formed as channels in the sanitary fitting block.
  • the receptacles are at least partially formed as open to the outside of the sanitary fitting block holes.
  • the outside may be a different side than for the Recording the mixer device and the shut-off device.
  • the connection with the input and output lines can be made at the back of the sanitary fitting block, while the mixing device and the shut-off valve should be accessible from the front.
  • the at least one backflow preventer and / or the at least one pipe aerator receptacles in the sanitary fitting block can be formed, in which the corresponding elements can be used. Also, these shots may be open to an outside holes.
  • one return flow preventer is provided for each input connection.
  • the tube aerator then preferably sits in the outlet connection or the water supply leading to the outlet connection.
  • the invention proposes to arrange at least one pipe aerator downstream of the shut-off valve.
  • the receptacle for the mixer device is arranged in a water guide between a non-return valve and a pipe aerator.
  • the receptacle for the shut-off valve is arranged in a water guide between a non-return valve and a pipe aerator.
  • the sanitary fitting block may have a receptacle for a diverter valve for switching between a plurality of output terminals.
  • This recording and that in it to be used diverter valve is preferably arranged between a backflow preventer and a pipe aerator.
  • shut-off valve and the mixing device are designed as a structural unit such that they can be arranged in a common receptacle.
  • the mixing device and the diverter valve are designed as a structural unit such that they can be arranged in a common receptacle of the sanitary fitting block.
  • the mixer device has a thermostat.
  • FIG. 1 shows the front of a sanitary fitting block, which has at its four corners in each case an eyelet 1 with a through hole 2, which are intended and suitable for screwing the sanitary fitting block to a base body. From the visible front, drill holes 3, for example, also stepped holes, go into the sanitary fitting block.
  • drill holes 3 for example, also stepped holes, go into the sanitary fitting block.
  • lower bore 3a is intended as a receptacle 4 for a mixing device
  • the in FIG. 1 upper bore 3b is intended as a receptacle 5 a shut-off or a diverter valve.
  • the receptacle 4 for the mixer device is designed as a blind hole, wherein the diameter is gradually different. Details are not shown because such recordings are known per se.
  • the longitudinal section of the FIG. 2 shows a outgoing of the receptacle 5 for the shut-off valve or diverter 6, which leads from this recording to a safety device 7.
  • the safety device is a tube aerator, which draws air through a slot 8 in the negative pressure case.
  • Such pipe aerators are known per se, so that they are not explained in detail.
  • the pipe aerator 8 is seated in the water guide 6, which leads downstream of the pipe aerator 8 in a further water supply 9, which leads to a trough outlet.
  • the tube aerator 7 is seated in a receptacle which is formed as a bore extending from an outer side. After insertion of the pipe aerator 7, this hole is closed from the outside by means of a plug 10. This makes it possible to exchange a pipe aerator 7 again even when the sanitary fitting block is mounted.
  • FIG. 2 shows the water guides 6, 9 of the receptacle 5 for the shut-off valve to the output terminal
  • FIG. 3 the connections for the entry of cold and warm water.
  • backflow preventer 11, 12 are known as commercially available units and are characterized by the arrow 13 to be seen.
  • the connections for the hot and cold water lead via only partially illustrated water ducts 14 to the receptacle 4 for the mixer device.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 show sections through a further embodiment, which also corresponds to the invention.
  • the receptacle 4 for the mixer device such as a thermostatic valve, is constructed in a similar manner as in the embodiment according to Figure 1 to 3 .
  • a water guide 15 leads to the receptacle 5 for a diverter valve, at whose output in turn a tube aerator 7 is arranged.
  • the Rohrbelcityer 7 sits in a stepped bore of the sanitary fitting block, which is completed by the insertion of the Rohrbellusterers by a sealing plug 10.
  • a water guide 9 leads to the trough outlet.
  • FIG. 5 essentially corresponds to the FIG. 3 , Thus, shows two backflow preventers 11, 12 in the input ports for cold and hot water.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show functional diagrams for possible arrangements of non-return valves, shut-off devices, mixing devices and pipe aerators in a sanitary fitting block, as proposed by the invention and as shown in the FIGS. 1 to 5 is shown in detail.
  • a backflow preventer 11, 12 in each input port depending a backflow preventer 11, 12 is arranged.
  • the water guides lead to a mixer device 16, downstream of which a shut-off device 17 is arranged.
  • a shut-off device 17 From the shut-off device 17 lead two output terminals to an output of the sanitary fitting, one of which leads, for example, to a hand shower.
  • a pipe aerator 7 is attached in the other finish. This departure is so through the Backflow preventer 11, 12 and the Rohrbelpresenter 7 secured lying in series.
  • the shut-off device 17 may be a shut-off device with simultaneous switching device, so that the two outlets can be controlled individually.
  • the non-return valves 11, 12 are provided to prevent cross-flow from an entrance to the other entrance and at the same time to secure the hand shower outlet.
  • FIG. 7 shows a functional diagram, which can also be realized with a sanitary fitting block according to the invention (see Fig. 7 , right fork).
  • shut-off valves available. Of course, these may be shut-off valves, which are controlled by a common device. Downstream of the two shut-off valves 18, a mixing device 16 is arranged.
  • the mixing device 16 and the two upstream shut-off devices can be a common structural unit which can be mounted in a single receptacle 4. In this type of construction of the valve, ie with shut-off devices 18 in front of the mixing valve 16, no backflow preventers need to be arranged in the inlet connections.
  • a further valve 19 is now arranged, which is primarily a diverter valve.
  • This diverter valve 19 serves to switch between three different outlets, of which in a departure only one backflow preventer 11 is arranged, while in another outlet a combination of a backflow preventer 12 and a Rohrbelricher 7 is attached.
  • a third exit has no further security device.
