Cameron ball valves in floating and trunnion designs cover pipeline, manifold and process isolation, while the gate valve range covers wellhead, choke manifold and pipeline duty. The Orbit pattern, with its tilting disc, is a recognisable Cameron design used where tight shutoff in abrasive service is required.
Oilfield surplus is usually pressure class driven. A Class 1500 or 2500 valve in good condition has a different market from a Class 150 utility valve, and the pressure class marking is the first thing to photograph.

Inspection points
What decides the price
Pressure class and trim
Class and trim material determine both application and value. Capture the body stamping.
API documentation
Material test reports and pressure test records are expected in this market.
Service history
Sour, sweet, water or gas. NACE compliance matters for sour service equipment.
What to send
Making the review quick
A wide photograph of the whole unit, a close photograph of the valve nameplate, and the model number if you have it. If there are several identical units, one set of photographs and a quantity is enough.
If the equipment is already separated, keep the parts together and label them as a set. A matched pair is worth more than two orphans.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy valves from stacked rigs?
Yes. Manifold and wellhead valve stock from stacked or sold equipment is a regular purchase.
Is NACE compliance important?
For sour service equipment, yes. Note whether the valve is marked for NACE MR0175 service.
