Abstract:
Flow regulator (1) comprising: a regulator housing (2) having a flow channel therethrough, an annular flow restrictor (5) made of elastic material pushed onto and encircling a fastening post (4) located in the flow channel, the post (4) having at least two fastening webs (6), oriented opposite to a direction in which the elastic material is pushed on, and having free ends that engage the flow restrictor (5) from behind in a securing manner, the flow restrictor (5) limiting a control gap located between the flow restrictor and at least one fixed part of the housing, such that a flow cross-section of the control gap is adjustable by the flow restrictor (5), which deforms under a pressure difference that arises during flow, the fastening webs (6) are formed as resilient webs that can be flexibly inwardly deflected.
