1. A flow control device, comprising: a body including a containing space internally formed therein, an installing opening fluidly communicating with the containing space, a discharge opening fluidly communicating with the containing space, an internal thread formed near the installing opening, and at least a side hole; a ball valve installed in the containing space and including a flow passage and at least an engaging recess; a hood pivotally connected to the body to be rotatable between a closing position to cover the discharge opening and an opening position to expose the discharge opening; and a handle including at least an engaging end engaged with the engaging recess through the side hole, by which the handle is pivotally mounted on the body to be rotatable between a drawing position and a blocking position, wherein when the handle is pivoted to the drawing position, the ball valve is rotated to align the flow passage with the installing opening and the discharge opening, and simultaneously the hood is pivoted to the opening position; and when the handle is pivoted to the blocking position, the ball valve is rotated to cause the flow passage to be misaligned with the installing opening and the discharge opening, and simultaneously the hood is restricted at the closing position.
