The invention relates to a water faucet fixture (1, 1', 1"), especially for institutional kitchens and medical establishments, whereby a hot water line and a cold water line (3, 4) open into a mixing and shut-off unit (2) with a lever for manual control, by means of which water is supplied at a certain mixed temperature and flow volume to a spout (6), whereby the water faucet fixture (1, 1', 1") comprises another feed line (5) which, while bypassing the mixing and the shut-off unit (2), allows the supply of water from at least the cold water line (3) into the spout (6). This feed line (5) can be shut off by means of an electrically actuatable valve (9) that is controlled by the sensor signal of a proximity sensor (7, 7', 7"). The proximity sensor (7, 7', 7") is located in the upper area of the fixture in such a manner that movements that serve to operate the fixture manually do not fall within its detection range (20, 20', 20"). This makes it possible to operate the fixture contact-free as well as manually. Advantageously, the fixture comprises two additional sensors (15, 16) that serve to regulate the temperature contact-free.
A water faucet fixture comprising
A water faucet fixture (1, 1', 1") comprising a mixing and shut-off unit (2) with a lever (13) for manual control of a water flow, whereby a hot water line and a cold water line (3, 4) open into the mixing and shut-off unit (2) by means of which water is supplied at a certain mixed temperature and flow volume to a spout (6), and the water faucet fixture (1) comprises another feed line (5) which, while bypassing the mixing and the shut-off unit (2), allows a supply of water from the cold water line (3) into the spout (6), whereby the feed line (5) can be shut off by means of an electrically actuatable valve (9), wherein, the electrically actuatable valve (9) is controlled by a sensor signal of a proximity sensor (7) that is capable of detecting an object brought into its detection range and wherein there is another mixing unit (8) upstream from the electrically actuatable valve (9), whereby a hot-cold mixing ratio is either manually adjustable by means of a regulator located externally in an area of the water faucet fixture (1, 1', 1") or else it can be regulated contact-free by means of two proximity sensors (15, 16) located externally in the area of the water faucet fixture (1, 1', 1").
