A mixing valve, the mixing valve comprising:
- a first fluid flow window;
- a second fluid flow window;
- a first plate corresponding to the first fluid flow window;
- and
- a second plate corresponding to the second fluid flow window;
- wherein the first plate is at least partially located within a passage defined by and extending through the second plate and wherein the plates are independently moveable;
- wherein moving the first plate controls a first aspect of the fluid;
- and
- wherein moving the second plate controls a second aspect of the fluid.
The mixing valve of 26, wherein the lip portion extends substantially uniformly around the inner edge of the second plate, from the first end of the lip portion to the second end of the lip portion.
The mixing valve of 27, further including a third fluid flow window, and wherein:
- the second plate is configurable such that the lip portion can completely obstruct either the second fluid flow window, or the third fluid flow window.
