About this detail

An electric remote control valve assembly is housed within a plastic rectangular valve box featuring a T-cover and captive stainless steel bolt with a loc-kit, installed at a right angle to adjacent hardscape edges. The box rests on a minimum four-inch depth of three-quarter-inch crushed gravel over landscape fabric covering the bottom and sides, supported underneath by four brick supports. A schedule 80 PVC mainline pipe connects via union fittings, tees, or ells to a PVC mainline pipe riser, with control wires secured to the riser using black electrical tape and twenty-four-inch wire loops connected by waterproof wire connectors. Downstream lateral lines and optional inline pre-set pressure regulators and drip system wye filters connect as sized per plans.
