Patent ID: 8418995

Claim:
A sanitary fitting comprising: a fitting housing; a cartridge disposed in a recess of the fitting housing, the cartridge having a control arm which, for an adjustment of a temperature of water, is rotatable about a rotation axis of the cartridge and, for an adjustment of water flow, is pivotable about a pivot axis running at right angles to the rotation axis, between an off setting, a maximum setting and an economy setting between the off setting and the maximum setting; an actuating lever disposed on the control arm, the actuating lever rotating and pivoting the control arm; and a cap covering the recess and the cartridge, the cap limiting a pivot motion of the actuating lever, and thus of the control arm, wherein: the cap is arranged on the fitting housing so as to be rotatable solely about the rotation axis; the cap has a long-hole like passage having a step, the actuating lever, which is movable from a limit setting into a release setting, passes through the passage, when in the limit setting, the actuating lever can only pivot between the off setting and the economy setting because a pivot motion of the actuating lever is limited by the step; and when in the release setting, the actuating lever can pivot between the off setting and the maximum setting because the pivot motion of the actuating lever is unhindered by the step.
