Distributing, opening and closing device for taps, has an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber to the shower column/head or to the shower hose, an outlet chamber to the shower hose or the shower column/head, a discharge opening and a water regulator with the functions of opening, intermediate closing and closing/discharging in one single mechanism, the water regulator being connected to the chambers of the distributing device, and being regulated via an actuating control with several positions, diverting the water, depending on the actuating rotation, to the corresponding chamber or discharge opening of both, thus releasing the water retained in the feed pipes in order to eliminate uncontrolled discharges of water, dripping or the formation of bacteria that are commonly generated in stagnant water, such as legionella.
Distributing, opening and closing device for taps, characterised in that said device comprises an inlet chamber (2), a shower hose (9), a shower column/head (8), a first outlet chamber (3) to the shower column/head (8) or to the shower hose (9), a second outlet chamber (4) to the shower hose (9) or to the shower column/head (8), a discharge opening (5) located within said device and a water regulator (6) located within said device which incorporates the functions of opening, intermediate closing and closing/discharging the shower hose (9) or the shower column/head (8) in one single mechanism, said water regulator (6) being connected to the inlet or outlet chambers (2,3 and 4) of the distributing device, and being regulated via an actuating control (7-7.1) with several positions, depending on the actuating rotation, to divert the water to the corresponding outlet chamber (3-4) or discharge opening (5) of both, wherein the water regulator (6) comprises an inlet pipe (2.1), an outlet pipe (3.1) to the shower column/head or shower hose, an outlet pipe (4.1) to the shower hose or shower column/head, a discharge pipe (5.1) and ceramic discs (10) and wherein the ceramic discs (10) comprises a fixed part (10.1) and a rotating part (10.2), the fixed part (10.1) being configured by several straight through-openings configured around the external diameter of the same, positioning, in the top semicircle, an opening (12) intended for discharging and on either side, an elongated opening (13), one intended for the outlet of the flexible hose (9) and the other for the shower column/head (8), positioning in the bottom semicircle an elongated opening (14) of larger dimensions, taking up a large part of the semicircular surface, intended for the inlet of water.
