Sanitary fitting

Abstract

The sanitary fitting is intended for two different qualities of water and, for this purpose, has outlet connecting branches (20, 21) which are separate from one another and into which two channel systems (50, 56), which are routed separately from one another through a common fitting housing (1), open out. Each channel system (50, 56) is provided with a valve arrangement (53, 17), each valve arrangement being functionally separate from the other and of which the top valve arrangement (17), assigned to the channel system (56), has a closure body (41) which executes a lifting movement and of which the actuating element (44) forms the top termination of the sanitary fitting. In order for it to be possible for the actuating element to be easily operated even with a comparatively high pressure in the channel system (56) which is to be closed, as is the case, for example, in drinking water enriched with carbon dioxide, a pressure-equalizing channel (82), which is routed through the valve closure body (41), connects the channel system (56) to a pressure-equalizing space (80), which is provided on the rear end surface (81) of the valve closure body (41).
