Can someone tell me from left to right, which ports of the mixing valve correspond to the drawing on page 58? My confusion stems from the mixing valve that I have has the mix port in the middle of the valve. I believe that this differs from the valve as drawn.

    are you sure,? read the description on page 54, and

    I am sure that you could draw a different conclusion.

    Paul's right

    left =hot....mid=cold...right =mix

    The text on P54 refers to the diagram on P53.

    The text from "So I'd like you to consider doing this instead" on P58 refers to the diagram on P58. The schematic drawing on P58 shows the mixing valve upside-down for clarity. You wouldn't install the valve like that.

    You also have to read this in conjunction with your specific valve's installation instructions. Some mixing valves have to go in the flow, some have to go in the return.

    It does make sense, honest!

    flow vs return

    wouldn't one in the flow be a diverting valve instead of a mixing valve?
