2. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

   The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match.
