German term or phrase: Wasserzulaufhahn
"HEISSE-WANNE-PROFI

"Diese Bain-Marie beinhaltet einen ***Wasserzulaufhahn*** an der Unterseite. Um eine Überfüllung auszuschließen, ist diese Bain-Marie mit einem Überlauf versehen."

From a catering equipment catalogue. As you can gather, this has to do with a Bain Marie. What exactly is a "Wasserzulaufhahn"? I guess it's a tap of some description. Or maybe a valve? TIA for your help.

water supply tap
Explanation:
It's a type of valve located on the bottom. Looks like one of these taps like for beer dispensing, at least in mine at home.
