Rising stem gate valve

Dear All ,
I have two questions :
For buried application , is it OK to use Rising stem gate valve ??
Can we install rising stem gate valve with actuator , is it standard to connect the actuator with rising stem gate valve or actuator is only working with non rising stem gate valves ??

Yes, they make multi-turn actuators in both pneumatic and hydraulic for gate valves. Most are fail-as-is because it is difficult to store enough energy to close (or open) a valve 50-150 turns on a failure of motive power.
