It's an aqua stat controlling something, probably just what you described. The tee balances the supply and return flow off the supply riser and the primary.

Still curious about that tee. Is it somehow functioning as a tempering valve?

So someone zoned it after the fact?
And, is that lead sweat into those copper fittings?

From the size of the pipes, I think it was laid out this way originally.

No. Galvanized steel tubing. I've been told it was basically electrical conduit. Odd how it shows up at just the time when we started using copper drain pipes. I've never seen a problem with it, but always cautioned my clients that it's unusual.
