purge valve
Explanation:
With liquid oxygen inside, this is something more than just a tap - it needs to maintain pressure and still allow the tank to be emptied.

Thanks Per, my problem was that the article refers to half a dozen different taps and a dozen different valves. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

valve


Explanation:
Not 100% sure here, but this seems to be used a lot.

Example sentence(s):
  • Open the oxygen cylinder by turning the valve counter-clockwise (to the left). Turn the valve until the pressure gauge or contents indicator shows how much oxygen is in the container. Always turn the valve slowly when opening or closing an oxygen cylinder
