From
https://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/...eck-valve.html
The screw in the middle of the valve is a test point for monitoring
correct operation of the check valve.

How you are supposed to do that exactly I have no idea.

Usually to allow the valve itself to be drained - handy when used in
locations where you might shut off the supply periodically and can
expect freezing. (say a feed to a garden tap)
