shower valve
Water temperature regulator
A shower valve is the plumbing mechanism that controls water flow and temperature in a shower.
It connects hot and cold supply lines and lets you adjust the mix.
Modern pressure-balancing valves prevent scalding when water pressure changes elsewhere in the house—like when someone flushes a toilet.
The plumber replaced the old shower valve when it started leaking behind the wall.
