NDS 107BC 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!

Having some construction done, and need to extend the height on some current valve box covers. These are the perfect fit for my project needs. The valve box covers are a nice heavy weight, and come with the caps. Ordered some covers from another vendor, and they didn’t come with the caps and were very light weight. Would definitely order these again.

Need to replace a damaged one in the yard? This worked great. And cheaper here than at the big box stores!

excellent build material, strong housing.

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

This is it! I ordered this after my lawnmower ran over the old lid - (not my fault! it was my posessed mower). I could find white pvc end caps at 6.3 OD, but I needed one ventilated. The green ones that are absolutely same matches were all 6 inch O.D. or smaller and would not fit the inside of the pipe - argh! I ordered this as a last attempt at DIY - I figured to just slide the whole cone over the open end. But surprise! That green lid you see is 100% a snap-on match. I easily popped it out and it was a perfect fit AND at 1/3 the price! Hope this helps!

At long last, we’ve arrived at the most heroic piece of subterranean infrastructure you’ll never think about again: the six inch water valve box. Let’s start with the obvious – it’s a cylinder. Not flashy. Not complicated. It’s not trying to be the center of attention. It knows its job: to sit in the ground, mind its business, and protect the shut-off valve like a loyal guard dog made of HDPE. Build Quality: The craftsmanship here is… entirely adequate. The box is plastic — thick, sturdy plastic that says, “I’m not here to play games. I’m here to encase a valve.” It doesn’t bend, it doesn’t whine, and if it ever cracks, it’ll be because you drove over it with a truck you shouldn’t have. And even then? It’ll probably forgive you. Functionality: Open the lid (yes, it has a lid!) and there it is — glorious empty space. Exactly enough room for a shut-off valve and perhaps a modest spider community. The lid clicks in with just enough friction to resist random gusts of wind but not so tight you need a crowbar and a prayer to open it. It is the Goldilocks of lids: just right. Aesthetics: Black. Round. Unapologetically valve-box-shaped. There are no logos, no branding, no QR codes to scan — just a utilitarian disk that blends into the ground like a secret passage to the world of water control. It could be mistaken for a UFO landing site by small rodents. Installation Experience: You dig a hole, you drop it in, you walk away feeling like you’ve accomplished something mildly important. It doesn’t come with instructions because it doesn’t need them. If you require instructions, perhaps you shouldn’t be installing a valve box. Overall: This is the kind of product you forget about instantly… unless it’s missing. Then it’s all you think about. It’s like a good referee — if it does its job right, you’ll never notice it. But when it’s gone? Chaos. Mud. Questionable puddles.

Used to hide a pipe in my yard. Works well for the purpose. Can be removed for accessing the pipe
