Abstract
In a sanitary outlet unit (1), a main body (2) and a handle (5), which is accessible from outside, are arranged so as to be movable relative to each other between a coupled position and an uncoupled position, so that in the coupled position the main body (2) can be screwed to a fitting outlet (3) by the handle (5).
Claims8
A sanitary outlet unit (1), comprising:
- a main body (2) configured to be screwed to a fitting outlet (3);
- a handle (5) by which a screwing movement (6) of the main body (2) is drivable;
- wherein the handle (5) is adjustable between a coupled position in which a drive connection is present with the main body (2) and an uncoupled position in which the drive connection is interrupted;
- and
- a movable internal part (11) having flow paths that are adapted to be located in a path of at least first and second water conduits (21, 25), and in the uncoupled position the handle (5) is operatively connected to the movable internal part (11) such that movement of the handle (5) switches a flow from one of the first or the second water conduits to another of the first or the second water conduits (21, 25).

A method for at least one of installing or removing a sanitary outlet unit (1) on a fitting outlet (3), the method comprising:
- providing a sanitary outlet unit (1), having a main body (2) configured to be screwed to a fitting outlet (3), a handle (5) by which a screwing movement (6) of the main body (2) is drivable, wherein the handle (5) is adjustable between a coupled position in which a drive connection is present with the main body (2) and an uncoupled position in which the drive connection is interrupted, and a movable internal part having flow paths that are adapted to be located in a path of at least first and second water conduits (21, 25), and in the uncoupled position the handle (5) is operatively connected to the movable internal part such that movement of the handle switches a flow from one of the first or the second water conduits to another of the first or the second water conduits (21, 25);
- adjusting the handle (5) on the main body (2) of the sanitary outlet unit (1) into the coupled position in which a drive connection is present with the main body (2);
- and
- driving a screwing movement (6) of the main body (2) of the sanitary outlet unit (1) relative to the fitting outlet (3) by the handle (5).
