Abstract
A sanitary fitting with a cartridge, a mixer and a spout which is built integrally with a housing and can be swivelled around the mixer, whereby the housing glides on at least one sliding ring located in a groove provided in the mixer. The external dimensions of the fitting are kept as small as possible. The diameter of the mixer is smaller than the diameter of the cartridge and a spacer, preferably made of plastic, is placed between the cartridge and the mixer, whereby the spacer has on the side facing the cartridge at least the diameter of the cartridge. Alternatively or in addition, a washer can be inserted into the groove for the sliding ring to seal the mixer from the housing.
