Abstract
A beverage dispensing tap of the type wherein a compensator sleeve inside the housing maintains a shut-off valve open for supply of the beverage into the housing of the tap. The invention simplifies the structure of the tap by replacing a number of sealing rings at the inlet of the housing by a single gasket which seals the compensator sleeve against the housing, provides valve seat for the shut-off valve and also serves as a seal at a union connecting the inlet of the housing to a connection pipe for feeding the beverage into the housing.
