Abstract:
In a sanitary installation part ( 1 ) which, along with a functional unit ( 7 ), forms a flow volume regulator, it is proposed that a regulating element ( 13 ), which can be adjusted along an adjustment path, be coupled to a temperature-sensitive drive unit ( 15 ) such that different regulating positions of the regulating element ( 13 ) are set in dependence on the temperature of the medium flowing through the installation part ( 1 ), wherein the different regulating positions realize in each case different volume-flow dependencies ( 11, 12, 45, 48 ) and/or flow resistances.

Claim (Index 1):
A sanitary fitting ( 35 ) comprising: a hot water inlet ( 38 ) and a water outlet ( 36 ), a sanitary installation part ( 1 ) arranged in at least one of the hot water inlet ( 38 ) or the water outlet ( 36 ) of the sanitary fitting ( 35 ), the sanitary installation part comprising a functional unit ( 7 ) arranged in a flow path ( 4 ) of the sanitary installation part ( 1 ) that defines a volume flow in dependence on a pressure as a volume flow dependency ( 11 ,  12 ,  45 ,  48 ), the functional unit ( 7 ) comprises a flow resistance element in the flow path ( 4 ) that is adapted to be pressed in a variously strong manner against a receiving part ( 9 ) such that a pressure-dependent cross-sectional area of the flow path decreases as the pressure rises, a movably arranged adjusting element ( 13 ) which is longitudinally displaceable along an adjustment path at least between a first adjustment position and a second adjustment position, and the defined volume flow dependency ( 11 ,  12 ,  45 ,  48 ) is modifiable by a change in a position of the adjusting element ( 13 ) along the adjustment path, and a temperature-sensitive drive unit ( 15 ) acts upon the adjusting element ( 13 ) to longitudinally displace the adjusting element ( 13 ) along the adjustment path as a result of a change in temperature at the drive unit ( 15 ).
