摘要： A faucet control system and valve is described herein. The valve can include a cylinder-type valve that is configured to control the temperature and flow rate of water to the faucet. The valve of the preferred embodiment can include a body defining a first cavity along a longitudinal axis; a first inlet port disposed in the body intersecting the first cavity; a first outlet port disposed in the body and intersecting the first cavity; and a rod selectively positionable within the first cavity of the body and defining a second cavity therein. The rod can include a first rod port intersecting the second cavity and a second rod port intersecting the second cavity such that in response to the rod being selectively positioned in a first position one of the first or second rod ports is substantially contiguous with one of the first inlet port or first outlet port.
