Abstract
A syrup dispensing system provides dual dispensing lines to a dispensing head and drawn from a single pump. The lines are interconnected by means of a suitable manifold or other connector to allow intercommunication between the two. A single valve is interposed between the connector and the dispensing pump. Each of the dispensing lines extends upwardly to an apex and then downwardly to the dispensing head, with the dispensing head and apex being above the top syrup level of the pump. By venting the pump to atmosphere after termination of a dispensing cycle and then opening the dispensing valve, syrup backflows to the pump and past the respective apexes to prevent unwanted dripping of syrup during quiescent periods of the syrup dispensing system.
