Eine Sanitärarmatur mit den gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen ist in der WO 02/23072 A1 beschrieben. In dieser Druckschrift ist bereits eine baukastenartig aufgebaute, aus einzelnen Baugruppen zusammensetzbare Sanitärarmatur mit einem die Mischkartusche, aufnehmenden Kartuschengehäuse beschrieben, wobei an das wasserführende Kartuschengehäuse ein gesondertes wasserführendes Einsatzteil anschließbar ist, welches in den Wasserauslauf des Armaturengehäuses einsetzbar ist und den Wasserweg zwischen der Mischkartusche und der Wasser-Austrittsöffnung der Sanitärarmatur ausbildet.A sanitary fitting with the generic features is in the WO 02/23072 A1 described. In this document already a modular structure, composed of individual modules sanitary fitting with a mixing cartridge, receiving cartridge housing is described, wherein a separate water-conducting insert is connected to the water-carrying cartridge housing, which is insertable into the water outlet of the valve body and the waterway between the mixing cartridge and the water outlet opening of the sanitary fitting forms.

Auch bei der aus der DE 102 46 861 A1 bekannten Sanitärarmatur ist ein gesondertes Auslaufrohr als Wasserweg zwischen einem Wasserverteiladapter und dem Wasserauslauf der Armatur in den Wasserauslauf des Armaturengehäuses einsetzbar. Im Gegensatz zur WO 02/23072 A1 dient der Wasserverteiladapter nicht der Aufnahme der Mischkartusche, sondern ist mit seinen in ihm gesondert ausgebildeten Durchlaufkanälen an die entsprechenden Wassereintrittsöffnungen und die Wasseraustrittsöffnung der Mischkartusche angeschlossen. Insofern ist bei der bekannten Armatur die Bildung einer Vormontageeinheit nicht möglich, weil Mischkartusche und Wasserverteiladapter jeweils getrennt voneinander zu montieren sind.Also at the time of the DE 102 46 861 A1 known sanitary fitting is a separate outlet pipe used as a waterway between a water distribution adapter and the water outlet of the valve in the water outlet of the valve body. In contrast to WO 02/23072 A1 the water distribution adapter is not used to hold the mixing cartridge, but is connected with its separately formed through channels to the corresponding water inlet openings and the water outlet opening of the mixing cartridge. In this respect, the formation of a preassembly unit is not possible in the known fitting because mixing cartridge and water distribution adapter are to be mounted separately from each other.

Bei der in der DE 196 39 320 A1 beschriebenen Wasserauslaufarmatur ist ein in den Wasserauslauf der Armatur einsetzbares Einsatzteil unmittelbar an die im Armaturengehäuse angeordnete Mischkartusche angeschlossen, ebenso wie die in dem Armaturengehäuse festgelegten Wasserzulaufrohre. Insofern fehlt es an einem gesonderten Kartuschengehäuse und die Bildung einer Vormontageeinheit ist daher nicht möglich. Einen entsprechenden Aufbau ohne ein gesondertes Kartuschengehäuse weist auch die in der DE 44 38 647 A1 offenbarte Wasserleitungsarmatur auf.When in the DE 196 39 320 A1 described water outlet fitting is an insertable into the water outlet of the fitting insert directly connected to the arranged in the valve body mixing cartridge, as well as the set in the valve body water inlet pipes. In this respect, it lacks a separate cartridge housing and the formation of a preassembly unit is therefore not possible. A corresponding structure without a separate cartridge housing also has in the DE 44 38 647 A1 disclosed water line fitting.

Auch die US 2008/0174106 A1 beschreibt lediglich ein Armaturengehäuse mit einer darin unmittelbar einsetzten Mischkartusche, an der in einer einstückigen Verbindung damit ein innerhalb des Wasserauslaufes der Armatur verlaufendes gesondertes Auslaufrohr angeordnet ist.Also the US 2008/0174106 A1 merely describes a fitting housing with a mixing cartridge inserted directly into it, to which a separate outlet pipe running within the water outlet of the fitting is arranged in an integral connection therewith.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer aus Baugruppen zusammengesetzten gattungsgemäßen Sanitärarmatur in den von der Mischkartusche zu dem Wasserauslauf der Sanitärarmatur führenden Wasserweg einen zusätzliche Durchflusskonstanthalter zu integrieren, so daß er vormontiert werden kann.The invention has for its object to integrate in an assembled from assemblies generic sanitary fitting in the leading from the mixing cartridge to the water outlet of the sanitary fitting waterway an additional flow stabilizer, so that it can be pre-assembled.
