Abstract
A mixing and flow control valve assembly (10) for water inlet to domestic appliances having individual solenoid operated inlet valves (30,32) for connection to heated and unheated fluid sources. The individual actuated inlet valves discharge to a common inlet (40) of a solenoid operated (34) flow control valve which in the deenergized state provides a high rate of discharge to one outlet (28) and in the energized state diverts flow to a substantially lower rate of discharge outlet (24). The valve assembly employs only three solenoid operators (30, 32, 34) which are mounted integrally in a common valve body.
