A water discharge device (10, 110) comprising: a water flow path that extends from an inlet (18; 118) through an outlet chamber (22; 122) to an outlet spout (24; 124); a valve assembly (16; 166) for opening and closing the water flow path, the valve assembly including a valve actuator (30; 130), a valve body (16; 116) that defines a valve seat (26; 126), and a valve plunger (28; 128) that co-operates with the valve seat and is moveable by the valve actuator to open and close the flow path; a heating element (36; 136) for heating the outlet chamber and spout to evaporate moisture on internal surfaces of the outlet chamber and spout when the flow path is closed by the valve assembly, the heating element being remote from the flow path; and a controller for controlling operation of the valve assembly and the heating element, the controller including a switch that is operated directly or indirectly by a user to control the opening of the water flow path; wherein the valve body has an inlet chamber (20; 120) that forms part of the flow path; wherein the valve seat and valve plunger are positioned between the inlet and outlet chambers; and wherein the valve body includes an aperture (38; 138) within which the heating element is disposed, the aperture being beside the outlet chamber, to maximise conductive heat transfer to the outlet chamber and outlet spout; wherein the valve body includes a void (40; 140) formed between the aperture and the inlet chamber for minimizing conductive heat transfer from the heating element to the inlet chamber, characterised in that; the void (40; 140) is in the form of an annular recess that extends around the inlet chamber. a water flow path that extends from an inlet (18; 118) through an outlet chamber (22; 122) to an outlet spout (24; 124); a valve assembly (16; 166) for opening and closing the water flow path, the valve assembly including a valve actuator (30; 130), a valve body (16; 116) that defines a valve seat (26; 126), and a valve plunger (28; 128) that co-operates with the valve seat and is moveable by the valve actuator to open and close the flow path; a heating element (36; 136) for heating the outlet chamber and spout to evaporate moisture on internal surfaces of the outlet chamber and spout when the flow path is closed by the valve assembly, the heating element being remote from the flow path; and a controller for controlling operation of the valve assembly and the heating element, the controller including a switch that is operated directly or indirectly by a user to control the opening of the water flow path; wherein the valve body has an inlet chamber (20; 120) that forms part of the flow path; wherein the valve seat and valve plunger are positioned between the inlet and outlet chambers; and wherein the valve body includes an aperture (38; 138) within which the heating element is disposed, the aperture being beside the outlet chamber, to maximise conductive heat transfer to the outlet chamber and outlet spout; wherein the valve body includes a void (40; 140) formed between the aperture and the inlet chamber for minimizing conductive heat transfer from the heating element to the inlet chamber, characterised in that; the void (40; 140) is in the form of an annular recess that extends around the inlet chamber.
