Tired of propping up your sprinkler valve box with rocks or wood, only to have them sink and become uneven after a season of use? Or measuring and cutting a valve box to accommodate the lines coming into or out of the box, leaving wide open spaces for dirt, water and pests to gather? Orbit has developed the solution to these all too common problems; the Orbit Valve Box Platform.

Built to add speed and precision to your sprinkler installation, the Orbit sprinkler box platform provides organization and a sturdy base for a valve box and manifold assembly. Each cut-out provides a precise fit for sprinkler lines, taking the guesswork out of valve spacing and installation. They are also aligned to work with the Orbit Pre-Assembled Valve Manifold.

The Valve Box Platform also comes equipped with “mouse-hole covers” that easily fit over the center holes on the base of valve boxes, which are designed to keep out…well, whatever you can imagine getting into the box through those holes. The Orbit box platform takes the hassle out and gives you a perfectly measured base on which to build your manifolds, which can then be dropped into place. Once it’s in place simply drop a valve box cover on top for an easy and secure fit. No more need to cut holes and deal with the mess of soggy mud filling the box every year.

Valve maintenance and repairs are also much easier when you don’t have to sift through the mud to work on your system. When combined with a gravel base, the Valve Box Platform keeps your valves out of the muck and mud and will continue to provide a sturdy base for your valve boxes season after season. It will accommodate up to four valves and their lines to sit in pre-measured distances, making it easy for repairs and end-of-season maintenance. It also features side inlets on either side of the base to come into the box from the desired approach or to provide a pass through for your mainline.

When you’re done purchasing a valve box platform consider also using an Orbit Pre-Assembled Manifold These come in either Two-Valve (57250 or Three-Valve (57253), each of which are perfect fits for the Orbit Valve Box Platform. Both of these are designed to keep your valve box organized, clean, and easier to work on. If you find yourself adding onto an existing pre-assembled manifold use the Orbit Heavy Duty Swivel Double Union Coupler (57184). There are no tools required for add-ons, simply hand tighten each side of the manifold and you’re set!
