Bedroom 2 to bathroom 2.  Manual valve mounted on bedroom wall.

 AI tells me this is a manual actuator for a gate valve controlling hot water flow from a tank.
•     Possibly part of a dual-zone system, where water could be routed to different fixtures or isolated for maintenance.
•     Designed for precision and durability, not aesthetics—hence the industrial look.

Or possibly before smaller domestic equivalents were available?
