Like a lubricated plug cock. Or maybe just a plug cock. in eather case, yes, you should beable to close this to isolate. It might also have a built in check, but i dont belive so, can you try another picture?

    looks like a flowcheck to me but kind of a grainy picture. is there a nipple and cap off the bottom? How is the water flowing into and out of this thing?
    Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

    I tried to lighten it up,

    but still not very good.
    My guess is some sort of PRV with built-in strainer that can be cleaned through the top?

    Dezurik

    Looks like a Dezurik or equivalent plug or balancing valve. Crane, Hammond and others made plug valves also.
