There is disclosed a pressure-compensated mixing valve of the diaphragm and reciprocating piston type, wherein a flexible connection between the diaphragm and the pistons is provided.

In a preferred manner, this is used with a mixing valve providing alignment of a ported ring member that also provides in part an internal stop feature.
