Abstract
A sanitary outlet insert (1) which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow rate regulator (2) or a flow limiter that has an adjusting element (3) which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element (3′). The aim of the invention is to easily adapt said outlet insert to the prevailing on-site water pressure and/or to the corresponding application in a simple manner. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the flow area of the flow rate regulator (2) or the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element (3) and the counter element (3′); in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face (7) of the outlet insert (1), said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element (3) and the counter element (3′) by means of a pushbutton mechanism.
