HVA High Vacuum Apparatus 10” Gate Valve

Description

HVA High Vacuum Apparatus 10” Gate Valve
For sale- a 10” High Vacuum Gate Valve.
I have been unable to find a makers mark or logo or label on the valve indicating who might have manufactured it.
Looking at the other listings and comparing the physical characteristics the ribs are comparable to the other products that I see from HVA High Vacuum Apparatus Mfg. Inc, and the one mark I did find on it, 90-21212 etched into the edge seems to be consistent with their serial number.
The valve flange is 10” ID, 16” OD, and the entire assembly is about 38” long, so the thing is massive.
And heavy.
I might, might be able to pack it to ship fedex but I would be a lot more comfortable shipping it freight banded to a pallet.
I need to get some more pictures of it (batteries died in the middle of the shoot) and I will try to get a better feel for it then as to whether it could go fedex.
Will also examine it more closely for any other markings I might have missed.
It was part of a monster sputtering system at a research facility, so it was not slaving away in some production setting.
It had a CTI Cryo-Torr 8 pump attached using an adaptor plate; I am guessing that was a retrofit at some point probably replacing a big diffusion pump.
The bolt holes are threaded and I should have all of them from both sides which I will put back in place to help protect the flange surface.
The surplus condition code of the entire sputtering system would theoretically indicate it was functional.
But the gate valve is untested, sold as is, and NO warranty is offered.
However, IF you pay the asking price and find it has a problem you cannot live with within 14 days of receipt you may return it.
Returns are ONLY allowed on Buy It Now Purchases.
Accepted Best Offers are strictly an as is sale, no returns allowed.
Return would be for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping costs, which may be substantial.
Just so that we are clear on that, this is an item that has not been thoroughly tested.
As such it may work fine or it may have problems, so any purchase entails a certain degree of risk.
If you Buy It Now your risk is limited to the shipping costs both ways.
If you submit an offer you do so knowing that you cannot return it.
In either case it is up to you to decide whether the risk level is acceptable to you, and if not you need to pass on this particular item.

Check back often!
Sold as is, as described, as pictured.
Potential buyers are asked to please make sure you have read the listing carefully, and understand what you are buying.
Ebay’s condition codes for used items, which I am now required to select from, might imply a degree of functionality that my limited time, knowledge, and facilities do not allow me to ascertain.
If the functional condition of the item is known it will be stated as such in the listing.
Unless a warranty is specifically offered returns are not accepted regardless of any implied functionality.
Shipping will be motor freight on a pallet unless you would like to come pick it up.
I would estimate the shipping weight at around 150 pounds.
I would estimate the freight cost for that at between 0 and 0 to the east and west coast respectively.
Residential deliveries, deliveries that require liftgates, deliveries to the boonies, and deliveries to schools or universities will all be more because it takes longer for the carrier to get the job done.
Shipping will be via Old Dominion Freight Lines, which has done a consistently good job getting my shipments where they are going without roughing them up.
I will be happy to quote you for the shipment, but I need to know the zip code, residential or commercial, and whether a lift gate will be required.
If you would prefer to use another carrier that’s fine .
It will be shipping from a warehouse with a loading dock in zip code 23093, but I do not live there!
I require pickup confirmation the day before and your carrier must provide an emailed printable copy of the Bill of Lading so that there is paperwork available for the driver to sign when he gets there.
The BOL should have all the info filled out when I receive it, blank copies are unacceptable.
I can ship this to Canada via Old Dominion, but they do not offer customs brokerage services, so you would need to have your own customs broker lined up before it shipped.
And while I cannot comment on the duties, tariffs, taxes and fees that might be levied, I can say that shipping to the metro areas of eastern Canada is surprisingly affordable.
