Abstract
An improved flow control valve for controlling selection of the temperature of water and its direction to one of several outlet ports, for example, a shower head or a tub spigot, is disclosed. The valve comprises a ball member having first and second inlet passages and one outlet passage formed in it, which fits within a valve body having first and second inlet ports and first and second outlet ports therein. The inlet passages in the ball are disposed in the same plane as the inlet ports, while the outlet passage is disposed in the same plane as are the outlet ports. These planes may be perpendicular to one another. A control member is connected to the ball and is rotatable about a first axis to select the temperature of the water and about a second axis to control the amount of water flowing and its direction to one of the outlet ports.
