A liquid dispensing system, comprising: a valve having an inlet for receiving liquid, an outlet and an actuator; a spout in fluid communication with the valve outlet; a lever connected to the actuator, the lever having a closed position in which the valve is closed, and an open position in which the valve is open to allow liquid to be dispensed from the spout; a locking member defining a spout opening therethrough, the spout opening receiving the spout such that the locking member is rotatable about the spout; the locking member defining a notch therein, the locking member being rotatable to a locked position in which the lever seats in the notch to prevent moving the lever from the closed position to the open position; and the locking member being rotatable from the locked position to an unlocked position in which the lever is not seated in the notch, allowing movement of the lever from the closed position to the open position.
