• and
• an overflow pipe, which extends away from the drain pipe from a first branch point, which is arranged upstream of the valve when viewed in the direction of flow of the water, to a second branch point, which is arranged downstream of the valve in the direction of flow of the water, and thus bridges the valve,
• wherein, in the installed position, the overflow pipe extends substantially upward counter to the plumbline direction,
