The present invention relates to a screen. The screen a) is annular, b) is designed to filter water in a thermostatic valve, c) can be transferred from a first state into an additional state, d) has a first circumference in the first state, and e) has an additional circumference in the additional state. The screen is characterized in that the additional circumference is greater than the first circumference. The invention also relates to a thermostatic valve comprising the screen; to a thermostat fitting comprising the thermostatic valve; to a method comprising connecting the screen to a thermostatic valve body; and to a use of the screen in a thermostatic valve or in a thermostat fitting or in both.

Screen having variable circumference for a thermostatic valve

An expansion material element () for a thermostatic mixing valve (), having an expansion material () comprising at least one additive () from the group below:

Expansion material element for a thermostatic mixing valve

A sanitary faucet having a faucet body; a mixing valve for mixing cold water and warm water to form a mixed water; and a thermostatic mixing valve for mixing cold and hot water to generate the warm water, containing an expansion material element and a gate valve operated by the expansion material element for adjusting a mixing ratio between the cold water and the hot water, wherein the expansion material element and the gate valve are arranged non-coaxially to each other, wherein the expansion material element can be used to operate the gate valve via a connection element, and wherein the connection element can be attached to the gate valve or the expansion material element and can subsequently be rotated into a closed position, in which the gate valve and the expansion material element are interconnected by the connection element. A method of installing a sanitary faucet is proposed.

Sanitary faucet having a non-axial thermostatic mixing valve and method for installing a sanitary faucet

A mixing cartridge () for a sanitary faucet, comprising at least:

Mixing cartridge with wedge-shaped vertebral bodies

The invention relates to a mixing cartridge () for generating mixed water with a mixing temperature, having a hot water inlet () for hot water, having a cold water inlet () for cold water, having a mixing chamber (), in which the hot and cold water can be mixed, and having a mixed water outlet () through which the mixed water can leave the mixing cartridge (). According to the invention, the mixing cartridge () has at least one vortex element (), which is arranged and/or designed in such a way that the water flowing through the mixing cartridge in a flow direction can be made to rotate, such that the water can form a water vortex.

Mixing cartridge having a vortex element

A sanitary fitting having a housing with a spout, wherein a first fluid can be carried through a first hose to an outlet of the spout and a second fluid can be carried through a second hose to the outlet of the spout, and wherein the first hose is located in the second hose.
