ABSTRACT:
In a valve unit 10 for a water mixing valve comprising a stationary disk 11 provided with a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet, and a mixed water discharge outlet, and a rotary disk 12 slidably overlapping the stationary disk, and provided with a mixing chamber, a face 11s, 12s of at least one of the stationary disk 11 and the rotary disk 12, slidable relative to the other, is provided with a hard carbon film 15 with a first intermediate layer 13a made of titanium or chromium and a second intermediate layer 13b made of silicon or silicon carbide being interposed in-between. With the valve unit constituted as above, the hard carbon film having high adhesion strength is formed on the slidable face 11s/12s of the stationary disk 11 or the rotary disk 12, or on both the slidable faces, substantially enhancing resistance-to-wear of the valve unit.
