Nds 118BC Jumbo Icv Valve Box 13x20 in Green

Product Description

The NDS 118BC is a jumbo-size ICV valve box designed to protect and provide access to inline control valves in irrigation and landscape water distribution systems. Built in a standard green finish that blends with turf and ground cover, this valve box gives technicians and irrigation contractors a durable below-grade housing that accommodates larger valve assemblies. At 13 inches wide by 20 inches long, the interior cavity offers sufficient clearance for full-size control valves, wiring connections, and manifold fittings. Irrigation professionals and landscape contractors typically install this unit during new irrigation layout or when retrofitting an existing valve station.

The 118BC is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation applications where ICV-style control valves require a protective housing at or below grade. It is commonly installed in lawn, turf, and landscaping zones where reliable valve access and long-term protection from soil load and foot traffic are required. The standard green lid color is a widely used field indicator for irrigation valve locations, consistent with common industry practice for valve box identification.

Installation Notes

Irrigation technicians and landscape contractors typically install valve boxes during system commissioning or valve replacement service. Shut off the irrigation water supply and de-energize any low-voltage wiring at the controller before opening or repositioning valve boxes. Set the box level in a prepared bed of compacted gravel or stable soil to prevent settling and lid misalignment. Local plumbing and irrigation codes may govern burial depth and backfill requirements; consult applicable jurisdiction standards before installation.
