A mixing valve having one single control device by which the fluid output and the temperature of the fluid output are regulated independently. The valve has two plates, one slidable on the other, one plate having an orifice in fluid communication with the valve's outlet and the other plate having two orifices in fluid communication with the hot and cold inlets to the valve, respectively. The orifices are rectangular with longitudinal and transverse axes parallel, respectively. Two-way movement of a handle is transmitted to the said one plate causing it to slide on the other in two directions such that the overlap of the inlet orifices by the outlet orifice is altered. This regulates the rate of flow through the orifices and the ratio of hot and cold fluid in the main output.
