NDS107BC 6 in. Valve Box and Cover, 9 in. Height, ICV Lettering, Black Box, Green Overlapping Cover, Black/Green

When you look at what you get here for what seems like a shipping cost alone....consider yourself fortunate to have such opportunities. My use was to allow access to a newly installed shutoff valve on a buried water line after I reburied it. Of course this could be any kind of buried line in which you placed a junction, which might fail or require access. I also placed this over buried SharkBite connectors in the Pex water line; those connectors must be wrapped with silicone tape to deter corrosion and are a weak link in a buried water line. These boxes look so nice at ground level! Very professional. Six inches across at the top is standard. The very sturdy box, with simple cutouts for a line on two sides, is some nine inches deep - good for sprinkling system maybe but not deep enough for my water line, but, you think I want to look for a deeper one that costs more? Heck no! I just put an upside down plastic plant-holder down first (you could use a plastic bucket, maybe a water gallon container, just put dirt around the outside and cut a hole in the top big enough to reach in). After filling to that level, then place this - it went right over half of the plant bucket - then fill in around it. Maybe a little insulation inside if you worry unnecessarily. Now, when I open it after easily mowing over it, it looks like a two foot deep chamber down there, and arm length suffices to reach and turn the valve. You couldn't easily replace a line splice through this box; you'd just have to dig it up. But, it marks the spot for you and makes it very easy to check for and detect any future leaks!

Very easy to install. Works great. Very Satisfied.

Sturdy box and cover. Good size and appearance to provide access to water valves in yard.

Good quality. Cheap price

PURCHSED TO REPLAE SUNKEN ONES THAT WERE CUT TO FIT - THESE WORKED WELL . BUT WHEN STANDING ON THE CHECK AND ADJUST LEVEL - THE CAP CRACKED IN HALF - OLD ONES ARE THINKER AND CAN WITHSTAND THE STEPPING ON AND THEY WERE 15 YEARS OLD . SO ON INSTALLED WITH OLD CAPS - THEN ONCE BURIED AND LEVEL - PUT NEW CAP FOR FINISH PRODUCT . ON FRONT LAWN NO NO PEOPLE TRAFFIC ON IT TO WORRY ABOUT . IT IT WAS THE BACK YARD I WOULD LEAVE THE OLD CAPS ON . KEPT ALL OLD CAPS AS BACKUP . UNTIMATLY IT WILL DO THE JOB BUT CARE NEEDED WHEN SETTING IT IN THE GROUND

As advertised

Stacks on original valve box to give height and prevent it getting buried again.

I like the ease in using. They difficult getting lid off but in my application not important.
