Abstract
A foam on fluid detector 1 has a bowel chamber 6 arranged to provide a fluid pathway between a keg connection port 4 and a tap connection port 5, the chamber having a ball valve or float 8 that in a seated position closes the fluid pathway between the container and tap connection ports, the detector having a purging port 3 and a control chamber between the ports, wherein the control chamber has a valve system operable by an actuator 18 to simultaneously open and close at least two of the ports to alter fluid flow through the ports. The detector enables dispensing, shut-off and purging to be carried out by movement of a single actuator on the detector.
