Claims5
An embedding system for sanitary fittings, comprising three macro-groups adapted to be removably functionally associated with each other, said macro-groups comprising a first universal embedding macro-group with a manifold body, a second macro-group of functional components/groups and a third macro-group of aesthetic parts,
- wherein said second macro-group of functional components/groups comprises two single modular elements including a first element having a switching function and a second element having a mixing function, and each element being adapted to be mounted to said manifold body in a plurality of mounting positions, with each mounting position being rotated relative to another mounting position,
- wherein said universal embedding macro-group is adapted to be installed in a plurality of installation positions, each installation position being rotated relative to at least one of the other plurality of installation positions, thereby capable of providing a plurality of different finished product embodiments;
- said manifold body having a plurality of ports comprising a plurality of inlets and a plurality of outlets disposed between a protective casing, said functional components/groups including at least one of shower groups, shower groups with switching devices, front outlet mixing groups and embedding mouth assemblies with a built-in drive.
