Here is another view and type.,

It supplies swimming pools and jaccussies and acts as a back-flow preventer.

OK, I have been missing in action since I posted this. Yes there is a hot tub on the property and yes there is an OH Soft water softener system. I The valve is connected only to the main line from the well. The water main is not tied to the hot tub or any other appurtenances. I have looked and looked and found no other markings. There is one thing I found out today, that is odd. The home is on well water and city sewer. I could not determine how the city is billing the sewer with no water meter or meter on the side of the home. THe softening system has: an iron filter,brine tank salt tank and one other undetermined tank. It also has two pressure tanks tied to one pressure switch. Anymore Guesses, I will try to pay more attention to the comments now to answer what questions I can. Thanks everyone

Wrong I say. And not a backflow preventer either.

Gasketed flapper insures a water tight seal. Flapper design allows for unrestricted flow and easy clean out. Made of corrosion free materials to assure inside remains smooth without flaking or pitting. Used in nominally horizontal drain lines, and branches. All hubs are DWV (Sch. 40) Non-pressure applications only. Easy entry removable cap for visual inspection or cleaning
NONE OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR GASES.

Let's just say Mexico is looking good right about now Wayne!!

There was a device years ago about 15 years i think someone was pushing it was supposed to neutralize mineral in the water somewhat like the magnet thing for gas lines it went in line and kinda look like a valve i wonder if this is what that is , I do believe it was a hoax deal.
