ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a sanitary fitting (5) including an external housing (2) that has at least one housing section (6, 7, 30), the housing section (6, 7, 30) having an insertion opening (10) on an inlet side. At least one functional unit can be inserted through said opening into the interior of the housing until it abuts an insertion stop (18, 19, 29). A housing clearance (20, 21, 22) for receiving the protruding part of the functional unit(s) that projects beyond the insertion stop is located upstream and/or downstream of the insertion stop (18, 19, 29) in the direction of insertion. The inventive fitting is characterized in that the fitting (5) optionally includes several different functional units and that the housing clearance (20, 21, 22) located upstream and/or downstream of the insertion stop(s) (18, 19, 29) has a longitudinal extension in the direction of insertion, which is equal to or greater than the maximum distance between the insertion stop (18, 19, 20) and the front face of the functional unit(s) in the fitting (5), the front face projecting into the housing clearance (20, 21, 22). Despite its modular configuration, the inventive fitting (5) can thus be simply mounted in the outflow mouth of a sanitary outflow fixture.
