    1504 - filter from a well water pump or maybe a well sandpoint

    1501 - for twisting rope or fencing wire, maybe?

    1502 is a split bolt, for splicing wire. the free ends of the wire are brought into the split and the nut is tightened so that the wires are held tightly.

    1501 --dunno right name, but it looks like a thing for twisting strands of stuff (hemp, cotton, flax) into rope).

    1502 Wire nut (I think that's the name) for connecting large-gauge wires (like the ones on poles leading to your house) together.
    Somebody said "split bolt"--that's right.

    1503 screen for a pump inlet of some kind -- I'm guessing food grade.

    1505 is going to be something to do with pipe-line operation, I bet.
