An apparatus for closing and/or regulating the discharge or tapping of molten metal from a metallurgical vessel includes a refractory outer pipe member having therethrough a discharge passage defining outer and inner openings and a refractory inner pipe member positioned within the outer pipe member, the inner pipe member having therethrough a passage defining outer and inner openings. A first of the pipe members is movable with respect to a second of the pipe members between open and closed positions. In the opened position, the discharge passages of the pipe members are aligned to define a molten metal discharge channel for passage therethrough in a flow direction of molten metal from an inlet opening to an outlet opening of the discharge channel. The cross-sectional area of the discharge channel is a minimum at the inlet opening and is increased between the inlet opening and the outlet opening.
