Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) | | Greek term or phrase: μήλο βρύσης | As before:
Τhis is in a list of routine "preventive maintenance" work carried out in a hotel, in Cyprus I think.

| Grading comment Thank you again! In descriptions of taps/faucets, I've also seen "ball unit", and in the Harrap Visual Dictionary (French-English), this part of a tap is labelled "ball assembly".

| Notes to answerer
Asker: I think this is it. Funny, I didn't find this use of μήλο in any dictionary.
Asker: I have no problem understanding "faucet", though we call it a tap in the UK.
