The present invention provides a dispense tap for dispensing a fluid. The tap comprises a tap body 1 having a supply channel 2 connectable to a fluid (e.g. a beverage) supply and a dispense channel 4 for delivering fluid into a receptacle (e.g. a glass). The tap further comprises a valve assembly 6 between the supply channel and dispense channel. The valve assembly comprises a fixed plate 8 abutting a rotatable plate 9. The fixed plate has a supply through hole 6 and a dispense through hole 7 and said rotatable plate has a trough 10. The rotatable plate is moveable between a dispense position in which the trough overlaps the supply through hole and the dispense through hole and a non-dispense position in which the trough does not overlap both through holes. The axis of the rotation of the rotatable plate is at substantially 45 degrees to the supply channel and/or dispense channel. |
