A valve includes a housing having an inlet opening and an inlet orifice for receiving cold and hot water, a barrel slidably received in the housing and movable to control the cold and the hot water to flow into the housing. A stem is secured to the barrel and shortenable and lengthenable by different water temperature, to control the flowing of the cold and the hot water into the housing. A conduit is secured to the housing and a spring is received in the conduit, to bias against the stem. The conduit includes a passage to allow the water to flow in and out of the conduit, and to allow the spring to be quickly shortened and lengthened by different water temperature.

I claim: 1. A valve comprising: a housing including an inlet opening and an inlet orifice formed therein for receiving cold and hot water respectively, a barrel slidably received in said housing and movable relative to said inlet opening and said inlet orifice of said housing to control the cold and the hot water to flow into said housing, a stem secured to said barrel and movable in concert with said barrel, said stem being shortenable and lengthenable by different water temperature, to move said barrel relative to said housing, and to control the flowing of the cold and the hot water into said housing, a conduit secured to said housing and including a space formed therein, a spring received in said space of said conduit, to bias against said stem, and said conduit including a passage formed therein and communicating with said space thereof, to allow the water to flow into and out of said space of said conduit, and to allow said spring to be quickly shortened and lengthened by different water temperature. 2. The valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said barrel includes a pipe provided therein, and secured to said stem to secure said barrel and said stem together. 3. The valve as claimed in claim 2, wherein said barrel includes at least one stay secured between said barrel and said pipe to form at least one pathway between said barrel and said pipe. 4. The valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes a valve seat provided therein, said barrel includes an upper portion movable toward and away from said valve seat of said housing, to control the flowing of the cold water through said inlet opening of said housing. 5. The valve as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a casing attached to said housing and including a valve seat provided thereon, said barrel includes a lower portion movable toward and away from said valve seat of said casing, to control the flowing of the hot water through said inlet orifice of said housing. 6. The valve as claimed in claim 5 further comprising a duct slidably engaged in said casing and including an outer peripheral flange laterally extended therefrom to engage with said casing. 7. The valve as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a second spring engaged between said duct and said barrel. 8. The valve as claimed in claim 6, wherein said duct includes a bore formed therein, and at least one spoke extended into said bore thereof, to engage with said stem and to guide said stem to move relative to said duct. 9. The valve as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a block slidably received in said conduit and engaged with said stem, said spring being engaged with said block to bias against said stem. 10. The valve as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a cover secured to said housing, a tube slidably received in said cover, said barrel being secured to said tube, and a control shank threaded to said tube to move said tube relative to said cover when said control shank is rotated relative to said cover.
