KTM produces ball valves in carbon steel, stainless and alloy, in two-piece, three-piece and flanged patterns, for process, utility and general industrial service. The range covers small instrumentation valves through to larger process isolation.
KTM surplus is usually standard catalogue stock, which makes it one of the simpler categories to review. Mixed lots and part boxes are normal.

Seller guides
KTM equipment, in detail
What we look at
Reviewing KTM equipment
Body style
Two-piece, three-piece and flanged. Three-piece valves with the centre section intact are worth more.
Seat material
PTFE, RPTFE, PEEK and metal. The seat determines the service range.
Operator
Handles, gear operators and actuators. Note what is fitted.
A detailed, accurate list is more useful than a generic brand mention. If you can tell us the model, the size, the class and what is attached, the review is straightforward. If you cannot, photographs of the nameplates will get us most of the way.
What to preserve
Before anything is disconnected
Keep the assembly together, keep the tag on the valve, and photograph the nameplates before anything is separated. Most of the value lost on branded equipment is lost in the ten minutes after removal, not in the years before it.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy used KTM equipment?
Yes. We buy KTM equipment as surplus, in single lots or as part of a whole crib. We buy it as equipment, not as scrap, and we make no claim about its fitness for future service.
Is KTM surplus worth more than unbranded equipment?
Often yes, because the brand tells a buyer what the specification is and where parts come from. The premium depends on the model, the condition and the documentation.
What if the nameplate is missing?
Send photographs of the body and any cast markings. Brand and model can often be established from the shape and the marking, though the price reflects the uncertainty.
