Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing arrangement for a water-dispensing appliance which is designed in particular for dispensing drinking water, having a valve device which has a valve body that can be positioned with sealing action against a valve seat, and having a dispensing body which has a first inlet and a second inlet, flow-connected to the first inlet, for the connection of water-feed lines and also has an outlet which is intended for dispensing water and is in flow connection with the first inlet and the second inlet. The flow connection between the two inlets and the outlet takes place via a channel portion which carries at an end the valve seat for the valve body, the valve seat forming a flow-deflecting element in order to change the flow direction of the water flowing from the first inlet and/or from the second inlet to the water outlet by at least 90°. The invention also relates to a water-dispensing appliance with a dispensing arrangement of this kind.
