Abstract
A sanitary fitting having a plastic holding part inserted in the underside of the fitting for rigidly fixing the fitting to a surface. The fitting has a holding part containing passages for leads and optionally fastening parts. The holding part has a holding tongue on a side remote from the center of gravity of the fitting, the holding tongue engages with a projection on the underside of a plate to which the fitting is to be firmly screwed. This holding tongue prevents tilting of the fitting.

A sanitary fitting, comprising:
- a fitting body adapted to be mounted in a hole extending through a surface, the fitting body having a standing face for placement against the surface;
- a holding element fixed to the fitting body in a vicinity of the standing face, the holding element having a planar portion adapted to extend across and fill said hole, the holding element being adapted to support the fitting body in the hole, the holding element having a portion projecting from the planar portion and adapted to project into the hole, the planar portion of the holding element defining at least one opening adapted to be located over said hole, wherein the projecting portion of the holding element defines a holding tongue that extends roughly perpendicular to the planar portion of the holding element and is adapted to fit in a marginal area of the hole, so as to support the fitting body against tilting during fixing of the fitting body to the surface.
A holding element for a sanitary fitting provided with a fitting body to be mounted in a hole on a surface, the fitting body having a standing face for placement against the surface, the holding element comprising:
- a planar portion adapted to be fixed to the fitting body in a vicinity of the standing face and adapted to extend across and fill said hole, the holding element having a portion projecting from the planar portion and adapted to support the fitting body in the hole, the planar portion of the holding element defining at least one opening adapted to be located over said hole, and the projecting portion defines a holding tongue that extends roughly perpendicular to the planar portion and fits in a marginal area of the hole, so as to support the fitting body against tilting during fixing of the fitting body to the surface.
