Abstract
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.
