Rain Bird VB-STD-H rectangular standard valve box - 59 x 49 x 31 cm - lockable green lid

Rain Bird VB-STD-H standard valve box for 4 to 6 irrigation valves

The Rain Bird VB-STD-H is a durable rectangular valve box designed for underground installation of solenoid valves in automatic irrigation systems. Depending on valve size, manifold configuration and pipe layout, it can accommodate approximately 4 to 6 irrigation valves. The enclosure protects the installed components from soil, dirt and mechanical damage while providing convenient access for inspection and maintenance.

The lockable green lid blends naturally into lawns and landscaped areas. Its generous top opening allows easy access to irrigation valves, pipe fittings and manifolds without having to excavate the entire installation.

Durable construction with reinforced housing

The rectangular Rain Bird valve box features a wide flange and ribbed sidewalls for improved stability and structural strength. These design features provide additional protection for the installed irrigation valves and pipe connections.

Beveled lid edges help reduce damage caused by lawn maintenance equipment. A convenient lifting slot makes the lid easier to remove during maintenance. The black valve box body is manufactured from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing a durable solution for underground irrigation installations.

13 preformed pipe knockouts for easy installation

The Rain Bird VB-STD-H features 13 preformed pipe knockouts for flexible pipe routing and faster installation. Two large openings accommodate pipes up to 89 mm in diameter, while eleven smaller openings are designed for pipes up to 50 mm in diameter.

The required openings can be prepared according to the planned pipe layout. Integrated knockout retainers help keep removed sections in place during backfilling, reducing the amount of soil and debris entering the valve box.

Ideal for residential and professional irrigation systems

With its spacious rectangular design, the Rain Bird VB-STD-H is suitable for residential gardens, larger lawn areas and professional landscaping installations. It provides a protected and organized enclosure for irrigation valves and their associated pipe connections.

Depending on the dimensions of the valves, manifold arrangement and pipe connections, approximately 4 to 6 irrigation valves can be installed. Sufficient clearance should always be maintained around fittings and connections to ensure easy servicing and maintenance.
