Birmingham's foundry and heavy manufacturing base runs on steam, and steam runs on globe valves. The city's older plants hold decades of bronze and cast steel throttling valves.
This is utility surplus rather than process surplus: smaller sizes, standard patterns, often new old stock in original boxes. It sells in quantity, not individually.
We buy in Birmingham and across Jefferson County. Mixed lots, partial assemblies, actuated and bare-stem valves and valves needing repair are all considered. We will review a list rather than demand a perfect inventory.
What we look at
The review, specifically
For this material in Birmingham, the questions are the same as anywhere else: what pattern it is, what it is made of, what class it is, whether it is complete and whether any paperwork survives. The answers are easier to establish than most sellers expect.
Photographs of the nameplate, the body marking and the whole unit usually answer all five. If they do not, we ask rather than guess.

Collection
Pickup across Jefferson County
Collection is arranged from your site, not the other way round. We work to your access rules, your gate booking and your safety induction, and we bring the lifting and loading arrangements. Across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama we can usually be on site within a few working days of an agreed offer, and faster when a demobilisation date is driving the schedule.
