         8 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein a surface area ( 26 ) of the outflow unit ( 1 ), in which water droplets or water deposits are adapted to collect, includes a water-repellent component ( 4 ,  5 ). 
     
     
         9 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the soft component ( 5 ) comprises an outflow structure ( 23 ). 
     
     
         10 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the hard component ( 4 ) has a channel ( 17 ) in an interior thereof which contains at least one section ( 18 ) of the soft component ( 5 ). 
     
     
         11 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the hard component ( 4 ) reinforces at least one section ( 19 ) of the soft component ( 5 ). 
     
     
         12 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the soft component is arranged in a surface area on the hard component, and height differences of a profile of the hard component are changed by the soft component. 
     
     
         13 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising a jet regulator cartridge ( 24 ) inserted into a fastening sleeve ( 25 ) carrying at least one of the thread ( 2 ) or the gripping surface ( 3 ). 
     
     
         14 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the thread ( 2 ) is arranged axially between the gripping surface ( 3 ) and a sealing element ( 7 ,  11 ). 
     
     
         15 . A sanitary fitting ( 13 ) comprising the sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         16 . A method of removing or installing a sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) to a sanitary fitting ( 13 ), the method comprising:
 providing the sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) with a gripping surface ( 3 ) made of a soft component ( 5 ) at least partially on an outer surface thereof; and   by holding on to the gripping surface ( 3 ) and rotating the sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ), screwing the sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) into and/or out of engagement with the sanitary fitting ( 13 ).   
     
     
         17 . The sanitary outflow unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , wherein a section ( 6 ) of one the soft component ( 5 ) or the hard component ( 4 ) penetrates the other of the soft component ( 5 ) or the hard component ( 4 ).
