Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap

(Other definitions for tap that I've seen before include "One can be hot or cold?" , "that's less hard than 11 [BASH] or 22 [BATTER]" , "Valve controlling flow - light knock" , "It's called a faucet in America" , "Flow controller; knock" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
