Abstract

The present invention relates to a beverage dispensing valve (10), in particular for a household refrigeration appliance (1), said valve (10) having a main body (20) comprising:
- a first portion (21) for the entrance of the beverage into said valve (10);
- an intermediate portion (20I) for said beverage to flow through the valve (10), said intermediate portion (20I) comprising at least one opening (20A) that allows the beverage to flow out of said intermediate portion (20I);
- a second portion (22) extending substantially parallel to an axis (A) of the valve (10), a sealing member (23) being associated with said second portion (22) in the proximity of a terminal part (22A) thereof.
The invention is characterized in that said valve (10) comprises a spacer member (50), which is adapted to be associated with the first portion (21) of the main body (20) to impart a universal character to the valve (10) and allow it to be associated with elements of different sizes and/or doors (3P, 4P) of different thicknesses.
