Abstract

The present invention shows a beverage dispenser of the type utilizing a tower standing above a counter top surface. A plurality of beverage supply lines are connected to a mounting block secured to a top surface of the counter top. The mounting block includes a plurality of receptacles providing releasable securing of a plurality of beverage line modules thereto. The beverage line modules are retained within the tower and each include an insulation block formed around a pair of beverage lines. The beverage lines terminate on one end thereof with valve receptacle ends for connecting to a plurality of dispensing valves, and on opposite ends with plugs fro releasable insertion into the receptacles. The modules can be conformed to provide for beverage dispensers of varying numbers of beverage valves wherein the number of valves is equal to or less than a number of receptacles in the mounting block.
