A post-mix beverage dispensing valve is shown having a quick disconnect mounting and easily detachable valve cover housing and valve actuating lever. The quick disconnect includes a body having a pair of parallel shafts extending therethrough. A pair of lock plates are secured on each end of the shafts. The locking plates each include a pair of locking tabs that cooperate with similarly sized locking pockets or areas on the valve main body. The valve also includes modular brix/flow control components to provide for quick adapting of the valve over a wide range of desired flow and/or brix parameters. An adjustable nozzle is shown for adjusting the flow rate of beverage there from with respect to the operating flow rate.

A quick disconnect for a liquid dispensing valve, comprising: a disconnect body for securing to a liquid dispenser and to a source of the liquid to be dispensed, the disconnect body having a liquid inlet for providing fluid communication to the source of liquid and an outlet releasably connectable with the dispensing valve for providing communication of the liquid from the disconnect body to the dispensing valve, a shaft extending through a bore in the disconnect body between a top end and a bottom end thereof in a direction transverse to the extension of the liquid inlet and liquid outlet, and the shaft having a smaller diameter portion along a segment thereof for defining an annular groove between the shaft and the bore in the disconnect body, the shaft also having a blocking portion and the shaft operable to alternately position the annular groove or the blocking portion between the liquid inlet and liquid outlet for permitting fluid communication and preventing fluid communication respectively between the liquid inlet and liquid outlet, a top plate and a bottom plate, each plate having one or more locking tabs for providing locking cooperation with one or more corresponding tab receiving pockets in the dispensing valve, and the plates secured to opposite ends of the shaft so that when the shaft is positioned to permit fluid communication between the liquid inlet and liquid outlet the one or more locking tabs of the plates cooperate with the one or more corresponding tab receiving pockets for securing the valve to the disconnect body, and so that when fluid communication between the liquid inlet and liquid outlet is prevented the one or more locking tabs are not in locking cooperation with the one or more corresponding tab receiving pockets.
