Abstract A sanitary single-control mixer fitting with regulating elements is formed having at least two discs, of which one serves as a static valve seat disc and includes two inlet ports for cold and hot water, as well as an outlet port. The second disc is shiftably mounted on the valve seat disc and includes a mixing chamber cavity, which is sufficiently dimensioned to partially or completely connect the inlet ports with the outlet port of the valve seat disc. The mixing chamber cavity in the shiftable disc is of asymmetrical form in relation to a symmetrical perforation pattern of the inlets and outlet parts in the static valve seat disc so that the usual mixed water temperature ranges, which constitute a so-called comfort zone, and therefore, the corresponding mid-position of the mixing chamber cavity is designed to reduce the free flow cross sectional area of the inlet port for the cold water but the mixing chamber cavity is greater than the cross sectional area of the hot water inlet.
A sanitary single-control mixer fitting comprising: a valve body having regulating elements; said regulating elements including at least two discs, of which one serves as a static valve seat disc, having two inlet ports for cold and hot water, and an outlet port; said second disc is shiftably mounted on the said valve seat disc, and includes a mixing chamber cavity, which is sufficiently dimensioned for partial or complete connection of the inlet ports with the outlet port in said valve seat disc; said mixing chamber cavity of said shiftable disc being asymmetrically formed in relation to a symmetrical formation of said inlets and outlet ports in the static valve seat disc; and said mixing chamber cavity being shaped to reduce the flow cross sectional area of the inlet port for the cold water and is of greater cross sectional area than the hot water inlet so that the flow of hot water is substantially unaltered while the flow of cold water substantially reduced.
