Abstract
A sanitary mixing valve for controlling the flow and mix of hot and cold water supplied respectively from a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet. The valve includes a valve body coupleable to the hot and cold water inlets and having a water outlet. A disk packet is supported on the valve body and includes a control disk. The control disk includes a mixing chamber for receiving a mix of the hot and cold water. A temperature-dependent control element is positioned on the control disk to directly measure the temperature of the mixed water in the mixing chamber. The temperature of the water emerging from the water outlet is regulated according to the measured temperature.
