This is purely a guess, but the fitting may have been used for supplying house steam to the boiler when the fire in the firebox was dropped. Given the extremely cold winter temperatures in Russia, there must have been much concern about maintaining and restoring boiler temperature when the fire was out. <br /> <br />The fitting isn't an injector. Bachmann has applied prototype-specific details to these models, which vary from one road to another. On each of the models I've seen, the water supply line on the fireman's side runs into the cab front (undoubtedly to an injector mounted inside the cab), or to an injector casting located on the side of the firebox in front of the cab.
