Champion Anti-Siphon Valves?

[Michael_1265]

Hello,
I am not here trying to make a sale, just looking for information. There are a bunch of new Champion anti-siphon irrigation valves in my back shed left by a previous owner. Nobody seems to know much about them. Thus, I came here. My question is: Do these have any worth? If so, where would I have the best chance to sell them? I am in the Richmond, VA area. Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike

Don't see much use for them. In most areas they have to be a testable device to be approved for back flow prevention. They may have some value as scrap. This would be a approved device for a irrigation system.

I'm sure there are many landscape companies that would pay you to have those for those picky homeowners who need to replace their original ones, provided the seals are not dried up inside.

Ditto.....Put them on Ebay. I've had a demand for those on older systems many times. Codes have changed since I sold my biz but I suspect a lot are being repaired rather than being upgraded to code.
