Hi, I'm currently undertaking a design project and I'm trying to find out what kind of valve they use in flick mixer taps/faucet mixer taps like these:

It'd be of great help if someone knows, and a section drawing would be immensely helpful as well!

Thanks,
Moe


Sorry that above link didn't work, I meant these kinds:

We need a brand name to help. What's that "gear shift lever" for? Regards, Tom

Say a Flick Mixer for example:

I don't know what the valve used or the internal structure of these taps are..

I think knowing the structure would help towards my current project.

In context, pretty much what I'm trying to achieve (if possible) is making two shower control rings and as a really basic rough sketch here below:

An outer ring controls the temperature by adjusting the proportion of hot water and cold water going to the shower, pretty much - by turning left or right.

The inner ring controls the flow of water to the shower - by turning left or right.

I was suggested thermostatic or rotary valves might help do the job but what would you recommend?

Sorry the above image didn't show up again!

Do you mean "what kind of cartridge" is used in Single Column faucets like the one you posted above ?
The one you posted looks like it is Delta brand. New Delta cartridge looks like this:
