I think you will find that the part Rose refers to is a "faucet" when most
people talk about it, even if partsref calls it a tap.... it's on a 1x2
modified plate/tile and has a spout that sticks out as well as a suggestion
of a ball handle. You cannot mount anything on it (at least not that I am
aware)

I guess it depends on how strict your definition of 'mount' is.  :)

Um, I'd rather not get into that here. :-)

Take a look at this classic space set:

If you look carefully at the backside of the launch tower you'll see two of
the faucets used to good effect, along with a short length of thin rubber
hose.

They are similarly used on the base of the tower, where you see the fuel
truck connecting to them.  Ah, the memories.

Way cool. Thanks for sharing. Apparently LEGO wasn't as uptight about using
parts in bizarre ways back then as I am now. :-)
