Carson 12201024 Rectangular Valve Box 12x20x12 Tan Hdpe

Product Description

The CARSON 12201024 is a rectangular valve box designed for underground irrigation and utility valve access in residential and commercial applications. Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the box and lid resist chemical exposure, moisture, and soil contact over years of in-ground service. The unit measures 12 inches wide by 20 inches long by 12 inches tall and features a tan box with a tan overlapping lid secured by a bolt for tamper resistance and a reliable fit. Licensed irrigation technicians and plumbing contractors install this box to protect inline control valves from damage and provide clean ground-level access for maintenance.

This valve box is suited for residential irrigation systems, commercial landscape installations, and light utility applications where an ICV-style valve requires a durable enclosure. The overlapping lid design with bolt fastener is commonly specified for installations where unauthorized access or accidental displacement is a concern. The rectangular footprint accommodates larger valve assemblies that a standard round box cannot house.

Key Features

• High-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction resists chemicals, moisture, and UV degradation
• Overlapping lid with bolt closure reduces displacement and deters unauthorized access
• 12 x 20 x 12 inch rectangular footprint accommodates ICV-style and larger inline valves
• Tan box and tan lid blend with common landscape and hardscape environments
• Designed for in-ground installation with direct burial in soil or aggregate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style valve box enclosure for residential and commercial irrigation control valves requiring a rectangular access box with an overlapping bolted lid.

Installation Notes

Irrigation technicians and licensed plumbing contractors typically install valve boxes during new system construction or as a replacement for damaged enclosures. Shut off the irrigation system and depressurize the line before servicing the valve inside the box. Excavate to the correct depth so the lid sits flush with or slightly above the finished grade to prevent surface water intrusion. Do not overtighten the lid bolt, as HDPE threads can strip if excessive torque is applied.
