Rain Bird VBA02673 round valve box with green snap-on lid - 10"

Rain Bird VBA02673 round valve box with green snap-on lid

The Rain Bird VBA02673 is a 10-inch round valve box designed for underground installation in automatic irrigation systems. It provides a practical enclosure for individual irrigation valves, manual shut-off valves and suitable pipe connections. Its compact, circular design allows discreet installation in lawns, flower beds and landscaped areas.

The durable black housing helps protect installed components from soil and debris, while the green snap-on lid blends naturally into the surrounding landscape. With a bottom diameter of 33.5 cm and an overall height of 25.5 cm, the VBA02673 offers more installation space than the smaller VBA02672 model.

Green snap-on lid for convenient maintenance access

The Rain Bird VBA02673 features a green clip-on cover that fits securely onto the valve box housing. Unlike the smaller VBA02672, which uses a bayonet-type lid, this model is equipped with a snap-on closure for straightforward access during inspection and maintenance.

The fitted lid helps keep soil and debris away from the installed irrigation components. An integrated opening and notch allow convenient access using a compatible Rain Bird lifting key. This practical design makes regular servicing easier without removing the complete valve box from the ground.

Durable polypropylene housing with pipe openings

The black housing and green lid are manufactured from polypropylene, a durable and lightweight material suitable for outdoor irrigation installations. The tapered construction makes the valve box easy to handle and allows multiple units to be nested together for space-saving transport and storage.

Pre-cut pipe inlet and outlet openings simplify installation. The designated pipe slots measure 5.2 cm wide and 8.9 cm high, allowing suitable irrigation pipes to enter the housing. These openings can be prepared during installation without extensive cutting of the sidewalls.

Practical protection for smaller irrigation installations

The Rain Bird VBA02673 is suitable for residential gardens, smaller lawn irrigation systems and individual valve installations. Its circular design provides a compact alternative to larger rectangular valve boxes while keeping important irrigation components accessible for inspection and maintenance.

Before installation, check the dimensions of your valves, fittings and pipe connections to ensure sufficient clearance. Position the valve box so that the green lid remains accessible at ground level. This allows you to inspect connections, operate valves and perform maintenance without excavating the entire installation.
