Fitting main body for a sanitary fitting
First Claim
1. A fitting main body for a sanitary fitting, comprisinga connector region having at least two connectors for connection to in each case one water line,at least one receptacle configured to receive a valve device inserted into the receptacle,a connector for an outlet from the sanitary fitting, andducts between the connectors, the valve device and the outlet, which ducts are formed in the fitting main body,said fitting main body having a connector block and a cover block connected to said connector block along a parting surface, wherein the ducts run without crossing one another, and partially parallel to one another, wherein at least one of said ducts runs parallel to the parting surface,wherein each of said ducts is open in the direction of the parting surface and does not have an undercut in the direction of the parting surface,wherein said connector region and said at least one receptacle are formed in said connector block,wherein the receptacle for the valve device is provided in the connector block and is configured to receive at least one of a mixing valve and a thermostat valve inserted into the receptacle, which receptacle is connected via in each case one inflow duct to the two connectors and from which receptacle a mixed-water duct leads to a receptacle in the connector block for a flow-rate regulating valve which is connected via an outflow duct to the outlet,wherein axes of the receptacles for the valves are situated in one of a same plane as axes of the connectors, and in a plane parallel and offset with respect to said same plane as the axes of the connectors, andwherein said same plane as the axes of the connectors is parallel to the parting surface at which the connector block and the cover block are connected.

Abstract
Proposed is a fitting main body in which are arranged receptacles for the connections of the sanitary fitting to the water line, receptacles for a thermostat valve and a flow-rate regulating valve, and all water channels. The water channels are formed at least in part as flat ducts open towards one side of the fitting main body, wherein the longitudinal direction of the cross section through the flat ducts runs perpendicular to the side of the fitting main body. The ducts are closed off by a cover which is connected to the fitting main body. As a result, that part of the sanitary fitting which comprises all of the water channels is composed of the fitting main body and a cover.
