I need to know what the fixture is in the very top of this group of images.
Whatever it is annoys the crap out of me and I am ready to fix it or get rid of it...I do need to know what it is before I can do either, though.
As you can see in the images, these are holes in the wall in my basement. The blue lines represent the general direction that these water pipes run. The picture on the very bottom is what this looks like from the outside. The valve in the "frame" in the main picture is a shut off for the faucet outside...the unknown fixture is connected the water line going through the shut off valve and it is then the pipe coming off the valve connects to some sort of drain/overflow outside. The water leaks almost constantly, so not only am I paying for this, but it is starting to ruin a patch in my back yard, but the main concern/reason for deeper digging is that it random whines/squeels and it is EXTREMELY annoying since we notice it most when everything is quiet in the house and we are trying to relax and watch TV upstairs.
LOOONNNNGGGG story short, what is the fixture? Can I remove it/replace it? Is it some kinda pressure release? HELP!
