Abstract:
The invention relates to a control cartridge for single-lever mixing taps, comprising a housing having a cylindrical housing wall and a base having a borehole for an inlet for cold water and a borehole for an inlet for hot water. Three ceramic disks are situated one above the other on the base, namely, a lower base disk having a borehole for the inlet for hot water and a borehole for the inlet for cold water, a rotatable and displaceable ceramic control disk which rests on the base disk and has a control edge on the circumferential surface, and an upper bearing disk which is sealed off from the housing or the housing wall. In order for mixed water to be dischargeable either laterally or vertically with the same installation space or the same installation height and installation diameter, it is proposed that the base and the base disk each have a mixed water outlet in addition to the two inlets for cold water and hot water. The inlets for hot water and for cold water and the mixed water outlet are situated one above the other in the base and in the base disk. The base is sealed off from the housing wall, and, depending on the requirements, the housing wall has an opening for a lateral mixed water outlet or no opening in the housing wall for a vertical mixed water outlet.
