A counter electric beverage dispenser method, apparatus and article wherein the dispenser includes a plurality of dispensing valves, a plurality of manifolds, a plurality of syrup tubes, a plurality of water tubes, a plurality of gravity syrup tanks for use during gravity operation, means for connecting syrup lines to the dispensing valves during pressure operation, and means for converting one or more of the dispensing valves from gravity to pressure operation and vice versa. The manifold includes a water passageway therethrough and first and second syrup passageways therethrough. The manifold is connected to the dispensing valve, the water tube and the syrup tube. Either one of a gravity syrup tank or a syrup line from a pres- sure source can be connected to the manifold for feeding syrup to the syrup tube and then to the valve. The dispensing valve can be a gravity electric valve that is modified when converting from gravity to pressure opera- tion, or alternatively a gravity valve can be removed and replaced with a pressure valve. The dispenser system also includes a system for cleaning out the syrup tubes. |
