Hello;

Managed to score a nice load of kegs, 2 CO2 tanks and 2 faucets but i cannot figure out what this feature of the faucet is for..

My first thought was a shut-off valve for the tap, but after tearing it apart I'm stumped now.

Flow rate control?

I've got two of these this one that was apart when I got it, and one where the ring holding it all together is stuck, perhaps this first one is missing a piece and it truely is a shutoff valve.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Don't have my Keezer setup yet so i cant play with it and see what it does...
