  • the strength of the purge flow in a toilet or urinal is dependent on the height difference between the cistern and sanitary ware, the flow resistance of the cistern connected to the sanitary ware cistern and the flow resistance of the sanitary ware. If the flushing flow is too strong, this can lead to water splashes from the sanitary ware on the toilet seat and on the floor next to the sanitary ware.
  • the flushing flow may be throttled.
  • conventionally different throttle rings are inserted with different diameters in the valve seat of the drain valve to reduce the flow area in the valve seat.
  • the adjustment of the purge flow with the various throttle rings is complicated and uncomfortable.
  • individual of the throttle rings can be lost, which can then rule out a satisfactory adjustment of the purge flow.

  • the invention makes it possible to carry out an adjustment of the flushing flow by means of preferably only a single adjustable element. Since therefore no longer different throttle rings with different inner diameters must be inserted into the valve seat, the setting of the purge flow with the drain valve according to the invention designed considerably more comfortable than with the conventional throttle rings. In addition, the invention offers a cost advantage, since it requires only one additional part (flushing flow throttle element) for different settings of the purge flow.
  • the invention is based on the idea that a flow cross-section reduction to reduce the purge current does not have to take place in the outlet of the valve seat, but can also be arranged elsewhere in the region of the valve seat.
  • the purge flow throttle element of the drain valve according to the invention is sleeve-shaped or hollow cylindrical.
  • the throttle element can be combined very well with the housing shape or valve guide form proven drain valves.
  • the effective size of the inflow surface can be changed by means of the flushing flow throttle element in latching steps.
  • the effective size of the inflow area can be set very comfortably as a function of a specific sanitary ceramic model and / or a specific height difference between the cistern and sanitary ware.
  • a table can be made available to the installer, in which various sanitary ceramic models and / or different values regarding the height difference between cistern and sanitary ceramics are indicated, wherein the various sanitary ceramic models and / or height differences are assigned specific setting or latching stages of the flushing flow throttle element ,
  • the installer can then take the table for the respective sanitary ware model or the respective height difference suitable adjustment or detent stage and accordingly adjust the effective size of the inflow by means of at least one purge flow throttle element.
  • the spacer has at least one first latching element, wherein the flushing flow throttle element has at least one second latching element cooperating with the at least one first latching element.
  • the purge flow throttle element has on its outside at least one outwardly projecting projection.
  • the projection can be used as a gripping surface and facilitates the handling of the Spülstrom-throttle element.
