What is this valve for? it turns right to left but I don't know what it does...0 -
Looks like
an old style adjustable relief valve.
If so, whatever its on, do yourself a service and replace it.

Are there two pipes running to it, or is it at the end of a run? If two pipes, it is a balancing or circuit setting valve. If it is at the end of a run, it is a relief valve as mentioned.

watts # 530 adjustable relief valve0 -
As bob says,
that looks like the old Watts adjustable RV, similar to #22 or #11(not adjustable).
My pic shows another, but you had to remove the cover for the adjustment, on yours the knurled knob facilitates,, who ever knew(or was certified) to its calibration.
I still say you should replace it.
On the #22, you had to drive-in lead plugs to re-new it if it blew(used to give you extra plugs).
