Abstract

A connection socket is adapted for a sanitary fitting with a floor-standing faucet column and has a socket bottom body and a removably attached socket top. A bottom body fluid channel has a bottom body inlet and a bottom body outlet. The socket top has a top-side connection surface for the faucet column and a top fluid channel with a top inlet in fluid communication with the bottom body outlet. A sound absorber element in the bottom body fluid channel is insertable and extractable via the bottom body outlet and/or a backflow preventer element in the top fluid channel is insertable and extractable via the top outlet. The socket top can be turnable on the socket bottom body between the operating position and a blocking position in which fluid communication is blocked.
