The present invention relates to a sanitary system or a building protection element according to the independent claims.

STATE OF THE ART

Construction protection elements for sanitary systems are known from the state of the art. Such construction protection elements are arranged, for example, on an assembly frame of a sanitary system. The construction protection elements are arranged in front of the sanitary system before the completion of a pre-wall and provide protection for the elements that are covered by the construction protection. In particular, the construction protection ensures that when tiles are installed on a pre-wall, no tile adhesive, cement components, dust, etc. penetrate into the areas that are covered by the construction protection. On the other hand, the outlines of such a construction protection element also define an access opening in the pre-wall after the completion of the pre-wall and removal of the construction protection, through which the sanitary system remains partially accessible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Based on this prior art, the invention is based on the object of specifying a sanitary system with a construction protection which is designed in such a way that the particularly vulnerable areas on a mounting frame of the sanitary system are covered.

This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a sanitary system comprises a mounting frame with two vertical supports arranged at a distance from one another, an upper cross member and a lower cross member, wherein the two Crossbeams are each firmly connected to the vertical supports at their ends; and a construction protection element temporarily arranged in front of the assembly frame. The upper crossbeam has a flush pipe holder with a flush pipe stored therein with a flush pipe outlet and two fastening element holders spaced apart from one another for holding fastening elements. The lower crossbeam has a drain pipe holder with a drain pipe stored therein with a drain pipe inlet. The construction protection element has a shape which is designed in such a way that when the construction protection element is arranged in front of the assembly frame, the construction protection element extends in such a way that at least the fastening element holders and the flush pipe outlet are covered by the construction protection.

The design of the construction protection element, which covers the flush pipe outlet and the fastening element receptacles, has the advantage that the parts of the mounting frame that are particularly sensitive to contamination can be covered.

The expression "temporarily arranged" is to be understood as meaning that the building protection element is arranged for the construction phase and can then be removed again after the prefabricated wall has been erected.

Based on this prior art, the invention is based on a further object of specifying a building protection element that can be flexibly adapted to the installation situation. This object is achieved by a sanitary system according to claim 2 or a building protection element according to claim 3.
