Abstract:
A control valve for at least one sanitary fitting that contains a body having at least one inlet (3) for a liquid; a diaphragm valve for opening and closing a flow channel of the control valve, the diaphragm valve having a diaphragm and a counterpressure chamber connected to the at least one inlet, and a pilot orifice being formed in the diaphragm, which pilot orifice connects the counterpressure chamber to the flow channel; a multi-port valve disposed downstream of the diaphragm valve and having a plurality of outlets for the liquid; and a controller for controlling the diaphragm valve and the multiport valve, the controller containing a control rod extending through the pilot orifice of the diaphragm, wherein the control rod can be adjusted in a longitudinal direction for controlling the diaphragm valve and can be rotated for controlling the multiport valve.
