A sanitary appliance for use, for example, as a kitchen water control and temperature mixing valve, has a base part which is fixed to a plate and a housing surrounding the base part. The base part receives all functional parts of the appliance but is not visible from the outside. A receiving area for a mixer cartridge is provided in the base part, in addition to a bottom for feed pipes and optionally drainpipes. The mixer cartridge and the feed pipes are connected by a mechanism of an interchangeable intermediate element. The appliance can be adapted to various operational modes and mixer cartridges by replacing the intermediate element.

Sanitary fitting, particularly kitchen mixer

A temperature-controlled mixer valve contains a disk control for determining the quantity of mixed water flowing out of the valve. To the disk control is connected a regulating unit, which determines the mixed water temperature. The control disk is movable with respect to the fixed distributor disk in a first degree of freedom for determining the mixed water quantity. By control disk movement in a second degree of freedom, the desired temperature of the thermostatic valve is modified.
