It is called a pressure balancing valve, usually used in shower applications. Also a preset temperature mixing valve could be used depending upon what you need the device to do.
You dismantle it from the front, find the problem and take the main part to Home Depot to find a repair kit. Then after repair, re-assemble in opposite way.

My experience has taught me that a piece of debris is clogging up a passage within the valve. If you have galvanized pipe a flake of rust is often the culprit. Another common source of foreign objects in a water system is off site construction and maintenance of the water delivery system. If you remove the valve from the valve body will find that the passages for the water that are in the casting are often as small as 1/8 of an inch in diameter. That is not enough to allow the water volume to force even a small obstruction out of the valve body.
