Abstract: A sanitary fitting (1) that contains a fitting body (2), a first spray plate (3), a second spray plate (4), and a two-way valve (5), which can be used to selectively route a liquid to the first spray plate (3) or to the second spray plate (4), wherein the two-way valve (5) is arranged in the fitting body (2) and having a valve body (6), which is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (11) in a valve housing (25) of the two-way valve (5) between a first valve seat (7) of a first outlet (8) of the two-way valve (5) and a second valve seat (9) of a second outlet (10) of the two-way valve (5).

Abstract: A liquid sensor, including: a) a housing; b) at least one sensor having at least two metallic contact surfaces for detecting a liquid; and c) a processing unit for processing sensor signals of the at least one sensor, a function of the liquid sensor being controllable by an actuation of at least one of the metallic contact surfaces. A method for controlling a function of a liquid sensor is also proposed.

Abstract: A method for operating a sanitary fitting, and to a sanitary fitting. The sanitary fitting is equipped to deliver a water jet and has at least one manual actuator for manual regulation of at least one water jet flow rate or a water jet temperature, and a sensor arrangement that is equipped for sensor-controlled regulation of a predefined water jet flow rate and a predefined water jet temperature. The sensor arrangement is equipped to detect the presence of an object in an external detection area and a control unit is provided to distinguish whether the object detected first is a water jet or a different object.
