Die dritte Durchgangsöffnung 14 ist in einer Ausbuchtung 15 angeordnet, die sich von der Oberwand 8 vertikal nach oben erstreckt, so dass sich die dritte Durchgangsöffnung 14 wesentlich über der Oberwand 8 befindet. Dadurch kann das Anschlussstück 21 vergleichsweise nahe an der Oberwand 8 angeordnet werden und dennoch ist ein Anschluss durch diese dritte Durchgangsöffnung 14 beispielsweise durch das Wellrohr 18' hindurch möglich.The passage openings 12-14 are formed so that through these in each case a corrugated pipe 18 or 18 'is insertable, such as the FIG. 1 shows. These corrugated pipes 18 and 18 'allow a so-called pipe-in-pipe installation. The lines 16, 17 can be arbitrarily fed and replaced in the corrugated pipe. In the embodiment shown, a conduit 16 is inserted through the first passage opening 12 in the box body 2 and connected to the first connecting piece 26. The connection of the conduit 16 with the first connecting piece 26 can be made with a connecting part 30 or another suitable connecting part, for example a compression sleeve or the like. The connection can be arbitrary. For fixing the corrugated tube 12 on the box body 2, for example, according to FIG. 3 a union nut 20 or other suitable fastening means may be provided. This also applies to the passage openings 13 and 14. The third passage opening 14 is arranged in a recess 15, which extends from the top wall 8 vertically upward, so that the third passage opening 14 is substantially above the top wall 8. As a result, the connecting piece 21 can be arranged comparatively close to the top wall 8 and yet a connection through this third through hole 14, for example through the corrugated tube 18 ', is possible.

Das Anschlussstück 21 ist zudem mit einer weiteren Leitung 17 verbunden, die am zweiten Anschlussstutzen 27 angeschlossen ist. Diese Leitung 17 kann an einen hier nicht gezeigten weiteren Verbraucher, beispielsweise an einen weiteren Unterputzspülkasten 1 angeschlossen sein. Dieser weitere Verbraucher kann somit an die Leitung 16 angeschlossen werden. Für die Durchleitung des Wassers ist im Körper 29 ein Durchleitungskanal 31 angeordnet. Dieser ist zudem mit dem dritten Anschlussstutzen 28 sowie mit dem Einlaufsstutzen 36 verbunden.The connecting piece 21 is also connected to a further line 17, which is connected to the second connecting piece 27. This line 17 may be connected to a further consumer, not shown here, for example, to a further concealed cistern 1. This additional consumer can thus be connected to the line 16. For the passage of the water, a passage 31 is arranged in the body 29. This is also connected to the third connecting piece 28 and the inlet nozzle 36.

Die Leitung 16 kann wahlweise auch durch das Wellrohr 18' und somit durch die dritte Durchgangsöffnung 14 eingeführt und am dritten Anschlussstutzen 28 angeschlossen sein. Die Leitung 16 kann zudem wahlweise auch durch die zweite Durchgangsöffnung 13 eingeführt sein. Entsprechend kann die Leitung 17 für den weiteren Verbraucher durch die Durchgangsöffnung 2 oder durch die Durchgangsöffnung 14 eingeführt sein. Der erfindungsgemässe Unterputzspülkasten ermöglicht somit eine Vielzahl von Anschlussmöglichkeiten.Optionally, the conduit 16 may also be inserted through the corrugated tube 18 'and thus through the third port 14 and connected to the third port 28. The line 16 may also be optionally introduced through the second through hole 13. Accordingly, the conduit 17 may be introduced for the further consumer through the passage opening 2 or through the passage opening 14. The inventive flush-mounted cistern thus allows a variety of connection options.

Am Einlaufstutzen 36 ist ein Verteilelement 23 angeordnet, dass gemäss der Figur 3 zwei Stutzen 24 besitzt. Einer dieser Stutzen 24 dient für den Anschluss des Einlaufventils 19. Der andere Stutzen dient beispielsweise zum Anschliessen einer hier nicht gezeigten Unterdusche.At the inlet nozzle 36, a distribution element 23 is arranged, that according to the FIG. 3 two nozzles 24 has. One of these nozzles 24 serves for the connection of the inlet valve 19. The other nozzle is used for example for connecting a sub-shower, not shown here.

Zum Montieren der Leitungen 16 und 17 wird das Anschlussstück 21 durch die Revisionsöffnung 9 in den Kastenkörper 2 eingeführt. Die Leitungen 16 und 17 werden durch das entsprechende Wellrohr 28 durch die Durchgangsöffnungen 12 bzw. 13 ebenfalls eingeführt. Die sich nun im Innenraum 11 des Kastenkörpers 2 befindlichen Leitungsenden 16a und 17a werden nun am entsprechenden Anschlussstutzen 26 und 27 angeschlossen. Der Anschluss kann beispielsweise mittels einer Pressverbindung erfolgen. Mittels der flexiblem Verbindungsleitung 25 wird nun das Anschlussstück 21 mit dem Einlaufventil 19 verbunden. Gegebenenfalls wird über das Verteilstück 23 die genannte Unterdusche angeschlossen. Die in diesem Fall nicht benutzte dritte Durchgangsöffnung 14 wird mit einem Verschlussteil 37 verschlossen. Schliesslich wird das Ventil 22 geöffnet, so dass das Einlaufventil 19 und gegebenenfalls die Unterdusche mit Wasser versorgt wird bzw. werden.For mounting the lines 16 and 17, the connector 21 is inserted through the inspection opening 9 in the box body 2. The lines 16 and 17 are also inserted through the corresponding corrugated pipe 28 through the through holes 12 and 13, respectively. The now located in the interior 11 of the box body 2 line ends 16a and 17a are now connected to the corresponding connection piece 26 and 27. The connection can be made for example by means of a press connection. By means of the flexible connecting line 25, the connecting piece 21 is now connected to the inlet valve 19. Optionally, said sub-shower is connected via the distribution piece 23. The third through-hole 14, which is not used in this case, is closed by a closure part 37. Finally, the valve 22 is opened, so that the inlet valve 19 and optionally the lower shower is supplied with water or.
