Abstract
An outlet element (1) for a sanitary fitting is provided, which outlet element (1) has a main element (2) and a valve device (3) which is connected to the main element (2) and can be adjusted relative to the main element (2) between at least two switching positions in order to switch over between at least two separate water conduits (4, 5). In order for it to be possible for the outlet element (1) to be fixed to an outlet of a sanitary fitting in as simple a way as possible, the outlet element (1) has a threaded coupling (13) with an external thread (19), the threaded coupling (13) being formed on the main element (2).
Claims14
An outlet element (1) for a sanitary fitting, the outlet element (1) comprising:
- a main element (2) adapted for connection to a sanitary fitting outlet of the sanitary fitting, the main element (2) comprising
- at least two outflow-side outlet openings (6) arranged on an outflow side of the main element (2),
- a seal receiver (10) arranged on the outflow side of the main element (2), and
- a sealing element (9) arranged in the seal receiver (10), the sealing element (9) having at least two openings that are separated from one another and correspond to the at least two outflow-side outlet openings (6) of the main element (2);
- a valve device (3) which interacts with the main element (2), the valve device (3) comprising at least two pairs of inflow-side inlet openings (7, 8);
- an actuating element (15), by which the valve device (3) is adjustable relative to the main element (2), in order to switch over between at least two separate water conduits (4, 5), wherein a first water conduit (4) of the at least two separate water conduits (4, 5) is assigned to a first pair of inflow-side inlet openings (7) of the at least two pairs of inflow-side inlet openings (7, 8), and wherein a second water conduit (5) of the at least two separate water conduits (4, 5) is assigned to a second pair of inflow-side inlet openings (8) of the at least two pairs of inflow-side inlet openings (7, 8),
- wherein, in each of at least two switching positions a passage is sealable by the sealing element (9) between the at least two outflow-side outlet openings (6) of the main element (2) and the at least two pairs of inflow-side inlet openings (7, 8) of the at least two separate water conduits (4, 5);
- and
- a threaded coupling (13) with an external thread (19), the threaded coupling (13) being formed on the main element (2) and being configured for holding the main element (2) captively to the sanitary fitting outlet.
