<p>The present invention relates to a valve cartridge for a water supply. The present invention provides a valve cartridge for a water supply, for adjusting the flow rate and temperature of cold/hot water being supplied, in which a shower water path or a direct water path is set in accordance with the left and right rotating direction of a flow/path adjustment member, and the water flow rate is adjusted in accordance with the degree of rotation of the flow/path adjustment member such that water is discharged to the direction of the inflow of water. The present invention adjusts the water flow rate, and selects a direct water supply mode and a shower water supply mode or adjusts the water flow rate after selecting any mode, via the operation of the single flow/path adjustment member, thus providing a variety of functions via the simple configuration and operation thereof. In addition, the present invention enables a user to adjust the water flow rate (open/shut) when the user has recognized whether the mode is the direct water supply mode or the shower water supply mode, to thereby protect the user from being doused with water discharged through a shower, which otherwise might occur when the user mistakes the shower water supply mode for the direct water supply mode. Further, as the present invention performs a water inflow process and a water outflow process in one direction of the valve cartridge, the connection structure of the valve cartridge to a direct water supply port and the shower can be simplified.</p> |
