I dont know what it is, probably to close something as you can turn it...
I hope that you can help to solve this new enigma...

Hi Kubur.
Hmmm. If it turns, the only thing I can think of is that their is an additional cut-off plate below the spout to act as additional safety valve/moisture protection. (?) Does it turn only part ways, or 360 degrees ?
