Abstract

A body (1) presenting inlet openings (2,3) for cold water and hot water and an outlet opening (4) for the mixed water, has a device for regulating the flowrate of at least one of the incoming streams of water and of the mixture of water (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24) and a device for regulating the temperature (43 to 51) actuated by control members (13, 49). The device for regulating the flow rate (12 to 16, 23, 24) comprises as obturator only one pair of ceramic plates (23, 24) displaceable in rotation the one with respect to the other, the flow rate of and contacting simultaneously only one stream of inlet water and the stream of the outgoing water mixture.
