A beverage valve assembly mounting assembly

A mounting assembly for a beverage dispenser, comprising:

• a housing, wherein the housing has a housing wall that surrounds a cavity, wherein the housing has a housing conduit in the cavity, wherein the housing wall has a top portion with a top opening therethrough and a bottom portion with a bottom opening therethrough, so that the housing conduit is between the top opening and the bottom opening;
• a valve body having a valve body conduit therethrough;
• a clip removably insertable into each of the housing and the valve body, wherein the clip connects the housing to the valve body;
• and
• a spindle having a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end, wherein the spindle is in the housing conduit, wherein the spindle rotates in the conduit about the longitudinal axis from a first position to a second position,
• wherein the spindle further comprises a flange at one of the first end and the second end that projects away from the spindle in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein when the spindle is in the first position, the flange surrounds a portion of the clip, thus preventing removal of the clip from the housing and the valve body, and
• wherein when the spindle is in the second position, the flange does not cover the position of the clip, thus allowing for removal of the clip from the housing and the valve body.
