The Rain Bird VBSTDB is a rectangular irrigation valve box sold as body only (no lid). It provides a secure, serviceable enclosure for standard sprinkler valves and lateral piping while simplifying installation and ongoing access. Body-only configuration: Includes valve box body only; lid sold separately so you can match lids or replace damaged tops without replacing the entire box. Compact rectangular footprint: External length 21.8" x width 16.6" x height 12" for common valve manifold layouts and straightforward burial. Slide-back knock-outs: Pre-formed knock-outs allow quick pipe placement and slide back above the pipe to keep out dirt during backfill. Engineered integrity: Designed to maintain horizontal and vertical strength under load, even when knock-outs are removed. Service and pest protection: Includes a bolt-hole knock-out to block critter entry when the locking bolt is not used and a side shovel access slot for easier lid removal. Ideal for contractors and homeowners who need a reliable valve enclosure with fast installation features. Verify valve and manifold fit before burying; order the matching VB-series lid separately if you need a complete boxed assembly.
