Rain Bird VB-7RND round valve box with green lid - 7"

Round valve box for irrigation systems

The Rain Bird VB-7RND is a compact round valve box designed to protect and house components of an underground irrigation system. It is particularly suitable for individual solenoid valves, smaller pipe connections and other irrigation components that need protection while remaining accessible for maintenance.

The valve box consists of a durable black plastic body and a matching green lid. Once installed below ground, the irrigation components remain protected, while the green cover blends discreetly into lawns and landscaped areas.

Durable construction for underground installation

The VB-7RND features ribbed sidewalls that provide additional strength and stability. Its wide bottom flange helps keep the box securely positioned in the ground and provides improved resistance to lateral loads.

The beveled edges of the lid help reduce the risk of damage from lawn maintenance equipment. The robust construction is designed for long-term use in residential gardens and professional irrigation installations.

Four prepared pipe knockouts

The round Rain Bird valve box features four prepared pipe knockouts, evenly spaced around the body. This allows irrigation pipes and connecting lines to enter the box from different directions.

The required knockouts can be removed during installation. Unused sections remain in place, providing additional protection against soil entering the box. These prepared openings help simplify pipe routing and create a tidy installation.

Green lid for convenient maintenance access

The included green lid provides convenient access to the installed components. Solenoid valves, fittings and other connections can be inspected, maintained or replaced without excavating the entire installation.

The lid features a prepared opening for an optional locking mechanism. This allows the cover to be secured when required. Its green color helps the valve box blend naturally into the surrounding landscape.

Space-saving installation in the garden

With its compact round design, the VB-7RND is particularly suitable for smaller irrigation installations. The valve box is placed in a prepared excavation, with the lid positioned as close as possible to the finished ground level.

When selecting a valve box, consider the dimensions of the solenoid valve and the space required for pipe fittings. Larger Rain Bird valve boxes are available for multiple valves or more extensive irrigation manifolds.
