Stockham Valves and Fittings produced iron and cast steel gate, globe and check valves for water, steam, HVAC and industrial service. The product line was widely specified in commercial and institutional construction.
Surplus comes from building services upgrades, plant stores and mechanical contractors. Iron body valves in particular are often surplus after a system is re-piped.

Seller guides
Stockham equipment, in detail
What we look at
Reviewing Stockham equipment
Flange faces
Chips and cracks at the flange are the main reason these valves are rejected.
Body material
Cast iron versus ductile iron matters for pressure rating.
Quantity
These sell as lots, so count by size.
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 Stockham equipment?
Yes. We buy Stockham 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 Stockham 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.
