ABSTRACT:
An improved faucet generally comprises a housing, a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet, a hot water outlet, a cold water outlet, a hot water pipe, a cold water pipe, a ball valve, and a spout. The ball valve is provided with water passages such that the hot water outlet and cold water outlet can be suitably aligned with the passages of the ball valve. As a result, when the ball valve is rotated in three dimensions, the temperature of the water as well as the volume on the spout can be readily and conveniently controlled.
