Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary fitting according to the independent claims.
  • the faucet In the area of the inlet channel, the faucet includes an aerator that is inserted into the opening. The water is deflected at right angles in the inlet channel and then flows out via the aerator.
  • the EP 2 775 047 has the disadvantage that the deflection of the water jet in the inlet channel is disadvantageous.
  • the water jet hits an impact surface. Damage to the valve can occur in the area of the impact surface, which greatly reduces its service life.
  • the EP 2 775 047 has the disadvantage that the inlet channel is susceptible to limescale deposits, which can only be removed with difficulty.
  • the object of the invention is to specify a fitting, in particular an inlet or outlet fitting, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a fitting comprises a water-conducting pipe with a wall laterally delimiting the water-conducting pipe, an opening and a further opening and a Insertion element which can be at least partially inserted into the second pipe section via one of the two openings and can be removed again.
  • the water-conducting pipe has a first pipe section extending along a first central axis and the second pipe section extending along a second central axis.
  • the first central axis is oriented at an angle inclined to the second central axis.
  • the insert element protrudes into a projection of the cross section of the first pipe section viewed in the direction of the first central axis and forms an impact surface for the water escaping from the first pipe section into the second pipe section.
  • the insert element and not the wall is hit by the water jet striking the second pipe section from the first pipe section. Consequently, the insert element can be replaced if there is a sign of wear.
  • the object according to claim 1 therefore further solves the problem of specifying a fitting which has a longer service life.
  • the insert element can be optimally designed in terms of material, so that, depending on the design, further advantages with regard to noise emissions, water jet deflection, etc. result.
  • Said angle is preferably between 75° and 115°.
  • Said opening can be a pipe inlet opening or a pipe outlet opening.
  • the insert element is preferably made of an elastic material in such a way that limescale deposits on the insert element can be removed from the insert element by deforming the insert element when the insert element is removed.
  • the formation of the insert element from an elastic material has the advantage that the insert element can be mechanically freed from limescale deposits. It is also conceivable that the insert element is placed in a lime-dissolving liquid. In addition, the insert element made of an elastic material can be easily brought back into shape after installation or removal. In addition, installation and removal are very easy.
  • the elastic structure also has a positive effect on noise emissions, which are reduced.
  • elastic material means a material that automatically returns to its original state after deformation when an acting force is removed.
  • the elastic material is a plastic such as an elastomer.
  • a plastic such as an elastomer.
  • EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene rubber
  • other plastic approved for drinking water can be used.
  • the cross-sectional area of the second pipe section is many times greater than the cross-sectional area of the first pipe section, viewed transversely to the first central axis.
  • the cross-sectional area of the second pipe section is preferably greater by a factor of 2 to 20 than the cross-sectional area of the first pipe section.
  • the insert element extends over the entire area of said projection.
  • the insert element also protrudes laterally beyond the surface of the projection. This ensures that all water escaping from the first pipe section will impinge on the insert element.
  • a fitting in particular an inlet or outlet fitting, comprises a water pipe with a wall laterally delimiting the water pipe, an opening and a further opening and an insert element which has one of the two Openings is at least partially used in the water pipe.
  • the insert element is made of an elastic material in such a way that limescale deposits on the insert element can be removed from the insert element by deforming the insert element when the insert element is removed.
  • the fitting can have a wide variety of uses.
  • the formation of the insert element from an elastic material has the advantage that the insert element can be easily cleaned of limescale deposits.
  • the insert element made of an elastic material can be easily brought back into shape after installation or removal. In addition, installation and removal are very easy.
  • the elastic structure also has a positive effect on noise emissions, which are reduced.
  • the term elastic material means a material that automatically returns to its original state after deformation when an acting force is removed.
  • the elastic material is a plastic such as an elastomer.
  • EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene rubber
  • other plastic approved for drinking water can be used.
  • the water-carrying pipe preferably has a first pipe section extending along a first central axis and a second pipe section extending along a second central axis.
  • the first central axis is oriented at an angle inclined to the second central axis.
  • the insert element can be inserted at least partially into the second pipe section via one of the two openings and can be removed again.
  • the cross-sectional area of the second pipe section viewed transversely to the second central axis, is many times greater than the cross-sectional area of the first pipe section, viewed transversely to the first central axis. This has the advantage that if the fitting is an inlet fitting, the water jet can open up inside the fitting and thus flow out of the fitting at a lower speed.
  • the cross-sectional area of the second pipe section is preferably greater by a factor of 2 to 20 than the cross-sectional area of the first pipe section.
