  • the outlet mouthpiece is radially and / or axially sealed with respect to the inner circumferential wall of the outlet fitting surrounding the outlet opening, the outlet opening can also be worked into the outlet fitting with a constant clear inside diameter. Since it is thus possible to dispense with an annular flange or annular shoulder on the inner circumferential wall required for the axial sealing in the outlet fitting according to the invention, the expense associated with the production of the outlet fitting according to the invention is substantially reduced in this area.
  • the insert cartridge is held by means of the outlet nozzle in the water outlet of the outlet fitting according to the invention, which makes the interchangeability of Einsetzpatrone clearly and understandably come to light.
  • the insert cartridge from the downstream side of the outlet mouthpiece is inserted into this up to an insertion stop.
  • the insertion stop provided on the outlet mouthpiece can be designed as an annular shoulder or annular flange arranged on the inner periphery of the outlet mouthpiece.
  • the invention provides that the outlet nozzle carries on its inner circumference an internal thread into which a provided on the outer circumference of the cartridge housing external thread can be screwed.
  • outlet fitting it can be dispensed with the necessary for the axial sealing ring shoulder or annular flange, and that the outlet opening is to be incorporated over its entire longitudinal extent with a constant clear opening cross-section in the fitting body.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention therefore provides that the outlet fitting has a fitting body which carries the outlet opening on its outer periphery and that the outlet opening has a uniform and / or paragraph-free clear opening cross-section, in particular in its end region opening into an inner cavity of the outlet fitting.
  • the sealing ring required for the radial sealing of the outlet nozzle provided according to the invention can not be inadvertently lost during storage and during transport, it is expedient if a peripheral groove is provided on the outer circumference of the outlet nozzle, in which a preferably made of elastic material Sealing ring is held. If this sealing ring is held in a circumferential groove on the outer circumference of the outlet mouthpiece, the sealing ring on the outer circumference of the outlet mouthpiece is secured in exact position.

If the insert cartridge is held securely in the outlet nozzle, the functional connection with the outlet nozzle is always guaranteed.
  • an unclaimed embodiment provides that the insert cartridge from the inflow side of the outlet mouthpiece is inserted into this up to an insertion stop. Since, in this embodiment, the outlet nozzle is first to be dismounted from the outlet fitting before the inserter cartridge having the jet regulator can be removed from the outlet nozzle, unauthorized manipulations in this region of the outlet fitting are less to be feared in this embodiment.
  • the insert cartridge between the insertion stop and a releasably secured to the inner circumference of the outlet holder holder is held in the outlet nozzle.
  • the holder may have a retaining ring which can be deformed on its outer circumference or be designed as such, which engages in a shape-adapted groove on the inner circumference of the outlet mouthpiece.
