I went to look at a water leak under the trailer of a 92-year-old lady who lives near here and found this thing, with water streaming out of the tiny drilled hole near the adjusting screw. The water line came out of the ground as 3/4" galvanized and after the shutoff valve it stepped down to 3/8", went into this object, came out the other side and went into a 3/8" flare connector to a copper line that I would have thought was made to be a gas line. I am guessing that this thing was not intended to be part of a water line, but I am not sure, and I (and the lady who lives there) would like to know what it was meant for. It looks like it is made to regulate the flow or pressure of something, but I have no idea what. Any ideas will be very helpful as I don't even know where to begin. It says CASH ACME Decatur IL. and has a flow direction arrow. The connections are both 3/8" NPT. Thank you very much.
