A faucet assembly for dispensing liquid from a beverage source includes a housing having a body and a cover coupled to the body. The body is configured to mount to a structure associated with the beverage source. The cover is movable relative to the body while the body is connected to the structure to provide access to an interior of the housing. The faucet assembly also includes an insert positioned within the housing in fluid communication with the beverage source to direct the liquid through the housing. The insert is removable from the housing when the cover is moved to provide access to the interior of the housing. The faucet assembly further includes an actuator supported by the housing. The actuator is movable relative to the housing to selectively inhibit fluid flow through the insert.

The faucet assembly of claim 1, wherein the insert is removable from the housing without disconnecting the body from the structure associated with the beverage source. 3. The faucet assembly of claim 1, wherein the insert includes a flexible tube and a connector, and wherein the connector is releasably secured to the body adjacent the inlet end of the housing. 4. The faucet assembly of claim 3, wherein the actuator is operable to pinch the flexible tube closed to inhibit fluid flow through the insert. 5. The faucet assembly of claim 3, further comprising a release pin coupled to the body, wherein the release pin extends through the body and engages the connector to releasably secure the insert within the housing, and wherein the release pin is removable from the body to unsecure the insert from the body. 6. The faucet assembly of claim 5, wherein the release pin is generally U-shaped and includes a first leg and a second leg, and wherein the first leg and the second leg extend through the body and engage opposing sides of the connector to releasably secure the insert within the housing. 7. The faucet assembly of claim 3, further comprising a gasket positioned within the inlet end of the housing, wherein the connector surrounds at least a portion of the gasket. 8. The faucet assembly of claim 1, wherein the cover is pivotally coupled to the body for movement relative to the body between the open position and the closed position. 9. The faucet assembly of claim 8, wherein the coupling member is part of a manual latch mechanism to selectively secure the cover in the closed position. 10. The faucet assembly of claim 9, wherein a first end of the cover is pivotally attached to the body, and wherein the manual latch mechanism is located adjacent a second end of the cover opposite from the first end. 11. The faucet assembly of claim 9, wherein the coupling member is a first release pin, wherein the manual latch mechanism also includes a second release pin, wherein each release pin engages the body to secure the cover in the closed position, and wherein the first and second release pins are movable toward each other to disengage the first and second release pins from the body. 12. The faucet assembly of claim 11, wherein the manual latch mechanism further includes a biasing member coupled to the first and second release pins, and wherein the biasing member biases the first and second release pins away from each other. 13. The faucet assembly of claim 1, wherein the cover is removable from the body while the body is connected to the structure associated with the beverage source. 14. The faucet assembly of claim 1, wherein the actuator includes a handle and a valve member, wherein the valve member selectively pinches the insert closed to inhibit fluid flow through the insert, and wherein the handle is pivotable relative to the housing to move the valve member relative to the insert. 15. The faucet assembly of claim 14, wherein the cover includes a projection that extends generally toward the actuator, and wherein the valve member is movable toward the projection to pinch the insert closed between the valve member and the projection. 16. A faucet assembly for dispensing liquid from a beverage source, the faucet assembly comprising: a housing including a body and a cover coupled to the body, the body having an inlet end with a connector portion configured to mount to a structure associated with the beverage source and an outlet end opposite the inlet end, the cover being movable relative to the body while the body is connected to the structure to provide access to an interior of the housing;an insert positioned within the housing in fluid communication with the beverage source to direct the liquid through the housing, the insert including a first end positioned at the inlet end of the housing and a second end adjacent the outlet end of the housing so that the insert is entirely supported by and removable from the housing, the insert being accessible through the housing when the cover is moved to provide access to the interior of the housing; andan actuator supported by the housing, the actuator including a handle pivotally coupled to the housing, the handle including a cam,a valve member positioned within the housing and coupled to the handle for movement with the handle, the valve member movable linearly relative to the housing between a first position, in which fluid flow is substantially uninterrupted through the flexible tube, and a second position, in which the flexible tube is pinched close, anda biasing member coupled to the valve member to bias the valve member toward the second position, wherein the cam engages a surface of the housing as the handle is pivoted so that the handle pulls the valve member away from the flexible tube against a bias of the biasing member; anda coupling member extending from the cover and engaging the body to releasably secure the cover to the body, the coupling member being spaced apart from the actuator;wherein the cover is movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the closed position the coupling member engages the body, and wherein in the open position the coupling member is disengaged from the body;wherein the actuator is supported on an upper portion of the body above the insert, and wherein the cover is coupled to a lower end of the body beneath the insert. 17.
