Airco Temescal 3” ST-2 High Vacuum Gate Valve, Very Clean!!

Description

Airco Temescal 3” ST-2 High Vacuum Gate Valve
For sale- an Airco Temescal 3” ST-2 Manually Activated Gate Valve.
This valve, just like the 6” and 4” versions that I am also offering, is very clean, but it has its share of scuffs and scratches, presumably from having been stored and then finally moved to surplus.
I assume all that to be purely cosmetic.
This one did have bolts threaded into the flange so I am going to call it USED based on that although there is certainly a chance it was never actually installed.
The valve has a unique actuation mechanism that is both easy to use and very positive in its action.
The valve is 3 inches ID, with a flange that’s about 7 ½” OD.
The body of the valve is marked as having been helium leak tested, and it has one of the rubber O-rings in place.
It does not have a model number tag on it anywhere but the 4” version was an ST-2 so that’s what I am calling it.
Untested, sold as is, and NO warranty is offered.
