Abstract
The connecting fitting member for a cold and warm water mixing valve includes a coupler mounted in a structure wall, which has passages for two or more pipe connections and from which additional passages lead for connection of the mixing valve branch in a substantially transverse direction. The housing of the mixing valve has a base surface corresponding to the upper surface of the coupler. This connecting fitting member is improved, since a fitting member is inserted or mounted in the housing of the mixing valve, with which it is possible to reverse the connections for the cold and warm water by a rotation of 180.degree. and to fix the mixing valve in any angular position in the coupler.
