Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary outflow fitting, especially a single-lever mixer (1), comprising, in a manner known per se, a housing (2) provided with at least one admission (5, 6) for water, and one outlet (49). A control cartridge (26) is located inside (10) the fitting housing (2), the manually operable control lever (34) of said cartridge controlling the flow of water through the outflow fitting (1). The aim of the invention is to be able to use a conventional control cartridge (26) with the admission and outflow openings thereof located on the lower side, even when the outflow (49) is in the upper or uppermost region of the outflow fitting (1). To this end, the control cartridge (26) is arranged inside a receiving insert (14). Water arriving towards the control cartridge (26) and leaving the same flows through said receiving insert (14). The water leaving the control cartridge reaches a water distribution chamber (12) which is provided between the receiving insert (14) and the bottom of the inner chamber (10) of the fitting housing (2), and guides the water into the radially outer region of the inner chamber of the fitting housing (2), whereupon it can flow towards the outflow (49), via a throughflow chamber (24) located between the envelope surface of the receiving insert (14) and the envelope surface of the inner chamber (10) of the fitting housing (2).
