Abstract
The cylinder body is affected by a rotational operation of the first operation part in such a manner that a rotational position of the cylinder body is changed while an axial position of the cylinder body is not changed, and is affected by a rotational operation of the second operation part in such a manner that the axial position of the cylinder body is changed while the rotational position of the cylinder body is not changed. A communication amount between the cold water supply channel and the cold water inlet hole, a communication amount between the hot water supply channel and the hot water inlet hole, and/or a communication amount between the mixed water outlet hole and the mixed water outlet channel are/is changed depending on the axial position and the rotational position of the cylinder body in order to achieve both a temperature regulation and a flow rate regulation.
