The present invention provides a rocker valve comprising a valve body including first and second fluid ports and a rocker valve mechanism in the valve body. The mechanism comprises a single pivot arm rotatable relative to the valve body, and first and second plungers pivotally fixed to the single pivot arm. The second plunger acts in opposition to the first plunger when the single pivot arm is pivoted relative to the valve body. The rocker valve includes a flexible seal member extending laterally across the first and second fluid ports. The flexible seal member has a first sealing region attached to the first plunger and a second sealing region attached to the second plunger and is movable by the first and second plungers between a first position in which the first fluid ports is closed by the first sealing region, and a second position in which the second fluid port is closed by the second sealing region. When the single pivot arm is pivoted relative to the valve body, a rotation of at least one of the first and second plungers about its respective fixed pivot is constrained solely by the flexible seal member.
