About the RainBird VB-STD-B (A11403) Standard Valve Box, Body Only
The RainBird VB-STD-B standard rectangular valve box (part number A11403) is the body only and does not include a lid. This valve box body is designed to protect in-ground irrigation valves and other subsurface system components; and it can be stacked bottom-to-bottom with another standard valve box for a deeper installation of system parts. Constructed of durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this RainBird VB-STD-B valve box body resists damage from impact, UV light, weather, moisture, and soil contact. All of the black-colored parts of RainBird valve boxes are built from 100% recycled HDPE, making them environmentally friendly and LEED compliant. RainBird VB Series valve boxes feature corrugated sides, giving them greater compression strength and increased stability under heavy loads. Inferior valve boxes require bricks underneath to prevent settling, but the wide flange base of VB Series boxes reduces settling and eliminates the cost and labor of installing bricks. Outside dimensions of the RainBird VB-STD-B (part number A11403) are 12.1" high and 17.5" long x 13.0" wide at the top, and measure 23.2" x 19.3" at the base. On the inside, the openings are 14.5" x 9.4" at the top and 18.7" x 14.1" at the bottom. A total of 13 knock-outs are easy to remove for placing pipe, and they can be slipped back into their retainers above pipes to stop backfill dirt from getting inside. This high-quality product is protected by a 5-year warranty. Founded in 1933, RainBird has a long-standing commitment to "The Intelligent Use of Water" and provides the industry's broadest range of irrigation products and services for agriculture, commercial developments, golf courses, sports venues, and homes in over 130 countries worldwide.
