    If it is a Whirlpool/Kenmore with the lint filter on the top the service kit used to be less than $20.

    Tell me what this is for, found it laying in the shop floor yesterday. I don't remember ever seeing it. It's counterbored on both sides.

    Looks like it would fit on the stem of a larger ball valve.

    That's kinda what I was thinking but I've never seen one with a hex nut to turn it, they've all had handles on them but you are probably right.

    Larger/special application valves have all kinds of different configurations beyond the regular handle.

    Valves with actuators (air or electric) often have a position indicator on top as seen below, sometimes they include a nut like that to manually turn the valve too.
