Actuated Valve Buyers
Actuated valves combine a valve body with a powered actuator for remote or automated operation. These assemblies are significantly more valuable than bare valves due to the cost of the actuator, controls, and accessories. ValveBuyer.com purchases complete actuated valve assemblies as well as standalone actuators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you buy actuators separately from valves?
A: Yes. Standalone actuators (even without a valve attached) have significant value. We purchase Bettis, Limitorque, Rotork, EIM, and all other brands.
Q: What about actuators that don't work?
A: We still buy them. Non-functional actuators can often be rebuilt, and even units beyond repair contain valuable components (motors, gearboxes, limit switches).
