spigot

Cask's liquid gate

A spigot is a device for controlling liquid flow—a tap or faucet, or more specifically, the plug inserted into a cask or barrel to draw off its contents.

In plumbing, spigot refers to the male end of a pipe fitting that inserts into another pipe.

Turn the spigot to fill the bucket.
