Abstract
A main valve insert (20) for a tap valve (10) for dispensing a fluid, having a channel (13) extending through the main valve insert (20), a valve seat (21) designed to cooperate with a main valve body (14) of the tap valve (10) to control a fluid flow through the channel (13), and an external thread (22) for connecting the main valve insert (20) to the tap valve (10). The external thread (22) comprises, viewed in cross-section, a plurality of thread elevations (23) having an outer flank portion (24) and an inner flank portion (25), wherein a flank angle of the thread elevations (23) in the outer flank portion (24) is in the range between 25° and 70° and in the inner flank portion (25) is less than 20°, wherein a thread pitch of the external thread is more than 2 times a width of the thread elevations (23) measured at the junction between the flank portions (24, 25).
