water spigot

Hose connection point

A water spigot is an outdoor faucet, typically mounted on the exterior wall of a building or standing freely in a yard, used to connect a garden hose or fill containers: I turned on the water spigot to wash the car.

The term is largely redundant—most spigots dispense water—but distinguishes outdoor fixtures from indoor faucets.
