Abstract
A dispensing valve mounting assembly includes a housing having a beverage syrup inlet communicating with a beverage syrup outlet and a first mixing fluid inlet and a second mixing fluid inlet communicating with a mixing fluid outlet. The dispensing valve mounting assembly further includes a beverage syrup valve assembly disposed in the housing. The beverage syrup valve assembly is movable from a first position that interrupts communication between the beverage syrup inlet and the beverage syrup outlet to a second position that permits communication between the beverage syrup inlet and the beverage syrup outlet. The dispensing valve mounting assembly still further includes an inlet switch assembly disposed in the housing. The inlet switch assembly moves among a first position that interrupts communication between both the first mixing fluid inlet and the second mixing fluid inlet and the mixing fluid outlet, a second position that interrupts communication between the second mixing fluid inlet and the mixing fluid outlet and permits communication between the first mixing fluid inlet and the mixing fluid outlet, and a third position interrupts communication between the first mixing fluid inlet and the mixing fluid outlet and permits communication between the second mixing fluid inlet and the mixing fluid outlet.
