Claim:
A spout assembly for dispensing liquid from a nozzle, comprising: a) a structural conduit including: i) a first end portion for attaching relative to a nozzle body and a second end portion for dispensing liquid; ii) an interior passage providing an internal flow path from the first end portion to the second end portion; and iii) at least one internal sidewall, the internal sidewall including a first sidewall portion with a first cross-sectional dimension, a second sidewall portion with a second cross-sectional dimension that is smaller than the first cross-sectional dimension, and a transition location between the first and second sidewall portions, wherein the transition location provides for the change in cross-sectional dimensions between the first sidewall portion and the second sidewall portion, the first sidewall portion includes a length at least partially defining a First portion of a substantially straight liquid flow path, wherein the first portion of the substantially straight liquid flow path extends through the transition location without the transition location changing the first portion of the substantially straight liquid flow path and the second sidewall portion includes a length at least partially defining a second portion of the substantially straight liquid flow path, wherein the second portion of the substantially second straight liquid flow path extends through the transition location wherein the transition location changes the second portion of the substantially straight liquid flow path.
