The invention relates to a faucet device for dispensing of a pressurised fluid, for example water, comprising an outlet member, preferably a spout, and a shut-off mechanism, said outlet member having an initial position (A) in which the flow of fluid through the outlet member is shut off, said shut off mechanism being arranged such that said outlet member, when subjected to an external force in a certain first direction enters a self-closing open position (B) allowing flow through the same, and when said force is no longer applied said outlet member returns to its initial position by self closing means, wherein said shut-off mechanism (20; 110; 210; 310) further is arranged such that when the outlet member (10; 100; 200; 300) is subjected to a force in a second direction different from said first direction it is releasably held in a certain position (C) allowing flow through the same. The invention also relates to a method for dispensing of pressurised fluid by means of a faucet device.
