Milwaukee Valve's bronze gate, globe and check valves are standard in plumbing, heating and light industrial service, while its UL listed and FM approved range serves fire protection systems. Both categories are bought in quantity and stored in boxes.
For fire protection stock, the listing mark is part of the product. A UL listed valve with a legible mark and a part number is straightforward; an unmarked valve is a question.

Inspection points
What decides the price
Listing marks
UL and FM marks on fire protection valves. Photograph them.
Part numbers
Box labels and body stampings.
Condition
New old stock dominates this category; used utility valves are bought in volume only.
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.
