Abstract

Proposed is a fitting main body in which are arranged receptacles for the connections of the sanitary fitting to the water line, receptacles for a thermostat valve and a flow-rate regulating valve, and all water channels. The water channels are formed at least in part as flat ducts open towards one side of the fitting main body, wherein the longitudinal direction of the cross section through the flat ducts runs perpendicular to the side of the fitting main body. The ducts are closed off by a cover which is connected to the fitting main body. As a result, that part of the sanitary fitting which comprises all of the water channels is composed of the fitting main body and a cover.
