No, you are not mistaken, I believe it does refer to an object used in the lower part of the device, and yes, "inferior" can also mean "lower". However, my objection to its use here is that the negative connotation of "inferior" makes it unsuitable for a marketing text. The register here (an online retailer) requires the use of common language such as "lower" or "bottom", rather than "inferior".
Putting that aside, the use of "faucet" is inappropriate for British English anyway, where it would be called a "tap". Having said that, I'm not even sure we'd call it that. Judging by the picture, it's a valve, as Lorena says.
In fact, while I'm here, Lorena, why don't you post that as an answer, that's exactly what it is, although I'd use "adjustable" instead of "telescopic". Saludos a todos! |
