Italian term

rubinetto regolatore di portata

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial Wine bottle filling machi
This is an instruction in the user manual of a wine filling machine. It comes under the section for setting up the machine (my weakest area here). Context reads:

"Il riempimento si effettua immettendo il liquido che deve essere imbottigliato, con imbuto o a gravita direttamente nel tubo di aspirazione pos48. Riempire completamente il corpo pompa fino a vedere il liquido fuoriuscire dal rubinetto regolatore di portata 32."

My intuition tells me this is sort of regulating tap for dispensing liquids, but I do not know what the best term would be to use even if this is the correct idea.

Could also be Tap, Plug, Spigot, Cock, Bibcock, Bleeder, Faucet... or Valve. It will take some searching, I think. Or maybe you could ask an engineer.
Judging from the pictures, it looks more like a nozzle: https://www.google.com.br/search?q=rubinetto regolatore di p...
