Abstract
The invention relates to a flow volume regulator () having at least one throttle body () which is composed of elastically deformable material and which is arranged in the throughflow duct () of a regulator housing () and which delimits a control gap () between itself and a regulating profiling provided on an inner circumferential and/or outer circumferential duct wall, the clear throughflow cross section of which control gap () can be varied as a result of the throttle body () which can be deformed under the pressure of the medium flowing through, with the regulating housing () bearing on its outer circumference a clamping edge region for clamping the flow volume regulator () between two line sections or line components which are connected to one another. The flow volume regulator () according to the invention is characterized in that the regulator housing () is arranged in the ring opening of a sealing ring () and in that the end surfaces () on the inflow and outflow sides of the sealing ring () form the clamping edge region. The flow volume regulator () according to the invention can be easily installed into a sanitary supply line even under restricted spatial conditions, with the sealing ring () which is provided as a clamping edge region of the regulator housing () sealing off the end sides, which face toward one another, of the line sections to be connected to one another.
