Product Description
The NDS 318BC is a jumbo ICV valve box designed for below-grade installation of irrigation control valves. Built for professional landscape and irrigation work, this box provides a durable, protected enclosure that allows technicians to access valves for inspection, adjustment, and service without excavation. The professional green finish blends with turf and landscape surfaces, reducing visibility in finished installations. At 13 x 20 inches, it accommodates larger valve assemblies and manifolds common in commercial and residential irrigation systems.
This valve box suits residential and light commercial irrigation applications where inline control valves or valve manifolds require a protected below-grade housing. It is sized to fit larger ICV-style valves and multi-valve assemblies. Landscape irrigation contractors and irrigation technicians are the primary installers. The jumbo footprint makes it appropriate for zones with multiple valves or larger-body valves that do not fit in standard-size boxes.
Key Features
- Jumbo 13 x 20 inch footprint accommodates large valves and manifold assemblies
- Professional green color blends into turf and landscaped areas
- Below-grade design protects valves from surface traffic, UV, and weather exposure
- Open-bottom construction allows drainage and access to valve piping
- Sized for ICV-style control valves common in commercial and residential irrigation
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style enclosure for below-grade ICV and similar large-body irrigation control valves in residential and commercial landscape irrigation systems.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation contractors or landscape professionals. Excavate to the appropriate depth so the box rim sits flush with or slightly above finish grade to allow surface water to drain away from the lid. Ensure the surrounding soil is compacted evenly to support the box walls and prevent settling. Always shut off the irrigation system water supply before servicing any valves housed in the box.
