  • the mounting ring can be screwed with its external thread in the water outlet mouth.
  • the mounting ring may have a large diameter ring portion in which both the internal thread and the external thread is formed.
  • the large diameter ring portion may merge at an annular shoulder into a small diameter annular portion forming the above-mentioned spigot which is in mating connection with the sleeve-shaped mousseur receptacle.
  • the sleeve-shaped cartridge insert receptacle, the flexible mixing water hose and the sleeve-shaped mousseur receptacle can be a one-piece plastic injection molded part, wherein the sleeve-shaped cartridge insert receptacle can have predetermined deformation points, which serve as an assembly aid in assembling the plumbing fixture.
  • the Sollverformungsstellen can be designed as groove-shaped material recesses with narrow webs of material extending in the axial direction on the outside of the sleeve-shaped cartridge insert exception.
  • the mixing water hose can preferably have a corrugated hose geometry.
