See full text

A dispensing tap (700) for liquids includes a body (702) connected to the neck of a container (900), a dispensing head (708) with an outlet or mouth (714), and a throat (710) connecting the body to the dispensing head. A shut off valve (716) is configured for sealing engagement with the mouth of the dispensing head, and a piston (718) is axially guided within the dispensing head. The piston includes a peripheral seal (720) slidably engaged with an interior surface of the dispensing head, and a valve stem (722) coupled to the shut off valve. The piston is selectively actuable between a normally closed position an open position. A vent (740) is in communication with an interior of the body and the vent is opened and closed with movement of the piston and shut off valve.
