Claim:
1. Thermostatic mixing valve with integrated flow diverter and extending along a longitudinal axis, said thermostatic mixing valve comprising: a first coupling for a control lever for the flow rate adjustment and the flow diversion through a valve group that is housed partly in a base and partly in a cylindrical body, said base being a circular member with oppositely disposed planar surfaces, said cylindrical body being adapted with a planar surface and abutting said base, where said cylindrical body is positioned intermediate said first coupling and said base along said longitudinal axis, and a second coupling for a knob for the temperature adjustment through a thermostatic device that is partially housed within said cylindrical body, said second coupling being positioned at an end of said valve whereby said first coupling is positioned intermediate said second coupling and said base along said longitudinal axis, wherein said valve group housed partly in said base comprises a fixed lower disk and a mobile upper disk, both of ceramic material, and is located downstream from said thermostatic device with respect to the flow direction of the water through the thermostatic mixing valve such that the valve group is crossed only by mixed water, said base being adapted with two openings for inflow of hot and cold water and adapted with two openings for outflow of mixed water towards two different users, said valve group being adapted to rotate relative to said base thereby blocking and unblocking only said two openings for outflow of mixed water, wherein the thermostatic mixing valve includes a member for the transmission of the flow rate adjustment and flow diversion control that directly connects said first coupling for said control lever to said valve group, said transmission member including a vertical stem extending from said first coupling towards said base and passing through said cylindrical body at an axis parallel to said longitudinal axis thereby allowing said first coupling and said valve group to rotate together without moving said cylindrical body.
