NDS 117BC — Jumbo Rectangular Valve Box (15" x 22")

What is it and what's it for?

It's a plastic box buried at ground level, covering the solenoid valve and its connections — it lets you access it for maintenance by lifting the lid, without having to dig every time you need to check or replace something.

Real-world use cases

• At home: You install it over your buried irrigation valve, leaving the lid flush with the grass — when you need to check the solenoid or a connection, you just lift the lid with a flathead screwdriver, no digging required.
• In a business or workshop: An irrigation installer uses it as the standard for every valve they bury, because it avoids callbacks from premature failures caused by moisture or mechanical damage from lawn equipment driving over it.

How to avoid buying the wrong one

• It's jumbo-sized (15"x22") — built for several valves together or a full zone kit, not a single small valve.
• The lid is an overlapping design, meant to keep dirt and grass from settling between the box and the cover.
• It has structural reinforcing ribs to withstand lawn equipment and occasional foot traffic passing over it.
