Tap

A tap is a valve for controlling the flow of a liquid or gas (gas-tap). It can refer to a valve for tap water (a faucet) or a valve connected to a keg of beer to allow one to control the flow of the beverage, also called a beer tap. In a broader but less common sense, it may refer to any water spigot.
