Plumbing fixture

Abstract

A plumbing fixture is provided that comprises substantially a housing, which has connections for a cold and hot water supply and an outlet for mixed water, and a water conduit module, which has a preformed hollow section and at least one inlet for cold, hot, or mixed water. The housing can be connected as a single piece and the water conduit module sealingly with the housing.

1 . A plumbing fixture comprising:
 a housing having connections for a cold and a hot water supply and an outlet for mixed water; and   a water conduit module having a preformed hollow section with at least one inlet for cold, hot, or mixed water,   wherein the housing is connected as a single piece and the water conduit module is sealingly connected with the housing.   
   
   
       2 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the water conduit module comprises one inlet each for cold and hot water. 
   
   
       3 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the water conduit module has a seat for a functional component, a thermostatic element, a mixing cartridge, or a valve bonnet. 
   
   
       4 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the water conduit module comprises two separate water passages, and wherein the one water passage at least partially surrounds the other water passage. 
   
   
       5 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one inlet for cold and hot water are provided at the water conduit module in a radial direction. 
   
   
       6 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the hot water inlet is connected sealingly at the water conduit module to the connection for the hot water supply on the housing and the cold water reaches the housing at the connection for cold water and flows around the water conduit and the housing interior. 
   
   
       7 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one inlet for cold and hot water is provided in an area of a seat for a thermostatic element on the water conduit module. 
   
   
       8 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the inlets for cold and hot water are connected at the water conduit module sealingly to the connections for the cold and hot water in the housing. 
   
   
       9 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein an outlet for mixed water, which corresponds to the mixed water outlet of the housing, is provided at the water conduit module. 
   
   
       10 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlet for the mixed water at the water conduit module connects the outer water passage with the mixed water outlet ( 4 ) of the housing. 
   
   
       11 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlet for the mixed water at the water conduit module connects the inner water passage with the mixed water outlet of the housing. 
   
   
       12 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the seat for the functional elements is provided from a preformed hollow section. 
   
   
       13 . The plumbing fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing and/or the preformed hollow sections are made of plastic or metal. 
   
   
       14 . A method for producing a plumbing fixture, the method comprising:
 providing a one-part housing for a plumbing fixture with connections for a cold and a hot water supply and a mixed water outlet;   providing a water conduit module; and   inserting the water conduit module into the housing such that during the insertion process of the water conduit module a tight connection of the housing and water conduit module results in an area of a connection site and in an area of the mixed water outlet.
