The present invention provides an electronic plumbing fixture fitting, such as an electronic faucet. The electronic plumbing fixture fitting includes a wand hose and a hose bracket. The hose bracket is operable to connect to a mounting shank and to the wand hose. The hose bracket is operable to position the wand hose between a mixed water outlet of a flow module and an inlet of the mounting shank such that a portion of the wand hose extends in a loop between the hose bracket and the inlet of the mounting shank. When installed, the hose bracket is in direct contact with the wand hose between the mixed water outlet of the flow module and the inlet of the mounting shank.

A fitting (1), at least comprising a housing (2) having a housing wall (3), a mixing cartridge (4), arranged in the housing (2), having a first feed connection (5), a second feed connection (6), a mixing region (7) for mixing a fluid flowing into the mixing region (7) via the feed connections (5, 6), and an outlet connection (8) via which the fluid can flow out of the mixing region (7) and out of the mixing cartridge (4); an actuation unit (9) for actuating the mixing cartridge (4) and a hose (10); the hose (10) being connected to the outlet connection (8) by means of a first end (11) and being arranged in a moveable manner on the housing (2) by means of a second end (12); the hose (10) extending through a channel (13) of the mixing cartridge (4), the mixing region (7) being arranged at least partially between the channel (13) and the housing wall (3).

The present invention relates to a cartridge for an electronic tap having a handle or controller with an extended operative range of motion, which allows moving said handle or controller beyond its normal range of motion determined by a first stop, providing in said extended areas additional functionalities using a control system that determines the position of the handle in order to associate to said position a flow value, a fluid mixing ratio value, and/or an additional functionality. The invention also relates to the tap including said cartridge with a handle having an extended operative range of motion and to the operation method thereof.

Described herein is a fluid dispensing system, a system for processing waste material and a fluid monitoring system and a method of monitoring the quality of a fluid. One embodiment provides a fluid dispensing system (1) including a fluid dispenser (3) in fluid communication with at least one source of a first fluid. An identification device identifies a user of the system and generates a user identifier. A processor (19) is responsive to the user identifier to access a database (27) to retrieve user data indicative of one or more user preferences and, in response, generate a control signal. One or more electrical sensors (25) are configured to sense a gesture motion from the user and, in response, generate a local input signal. An actuator system (29) is responsive to the control signal and the local input signal to dispense the first fluid from the fluid dispenser with predefined characteristics.
