Plumbing component question.
This PEX plumbing primer valve component is new to me.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Plumbing component question.
Robert,
What I suspect that is for is a floor drain primer.
Some of those use fluctuations in pressure to briefly open a valve and allow water to flow to a floor drain trap to keep it promed.
Flush a toilet or turn on/off a faucet and the water pressure drops then spikes, which causes the valve to open briefly.
