NDS Rectangular Jumbo Valve Box 15 x 22 in, 12 in Tall — Black Body with Green Overlapping ICV Lid, Brass Insert, Heavy-Duty Prote

This heavy-duty valve box combines a robust black body with a green, overlapping lid labeled for irrigation control valves (ICV). Built for both residential and commercial use, it keeps underground irrigation components shielded from dirt, lawn equipment, foot traffic, and incidental damage while still permitting straightforward servicing. A brass insert in the body allows bolts to be added for optional security and the lid is shaped to resist debris intrusion.

How does this valve box keep irrigation parts protected?

The NDS 117BC surrounds valves and small irrigation accessories in a reinforced cavity that reduces the risk of impact and soil contamination. The overlapping cover design prevents grass clippings and soil from settling in the seam, and molded ribs strengthen the walls so the assembly resists crushing and deformation.

• Overlapping green cover blocks dirt and debris from entering the box.
• Structural reinforcing ribs add resistance to weight and impacts.
• Brass insert accepts bolts to lock the lid in place if desired.
• Labeled lid (ICV) helps identify irrigation control valves at a glance.

Will it fit common irrigation valves and allow easy maintenance?

Yes — the internal dimensions and jumbo capacity accommodate most residential and many commercial valve assemblies, control zone kits, and accessory components. The lid includes slots that let you pry it open with a flathead screwdriver or lifting tool for quick access to service items below.

• Top inside dimensions provide ample space for valves and fittings.
• Lift slots are molded into the cover for simple removal during service.
• Flat, stable rim and lid profile make re-seating straightforward after maintenance.

What are the size and load-bearing details I should know?

The box measures 12 inches tall and the lid covers a large opening suitable for handheld access. The junction of reinforced walls and the overlapping lid supports pedestrian traffic and routine lawn maintenance equipment; it is intended for non-vehicular loads unless otherwise specified by your site needs.

• Box height: 12 in.; top inside: approximately 13-3/8 in. x 19-15/16 in.
• Bottom inside footprint: approximately 18 in. x 24-3/4 in.
• Lid outside dimensions: roughly 14-7/8 in. x 21-1/2 in.
• Designed for pedestrian and lawn equipment loads; not rated for heavy vehicle traffic.

Who is this for? Landscapers, irrigation contractors, property managers, and homeowners who need a reliable, serviceable enclosure for control valves and irrigation accessories will find the NDS 117BC useful. It’s a practical choice where protection from debris and light mechanical stresses matters, and where clear identification and optional locking are helpful for maintenance and site security.
