About this detail

An electric remote control valve is housed inside a rectangular plastic valve box with a black cover, installed at a right angle to the adjacent hardscape edge with finished grade maintained at two inches minimum in both turf and shrub areas. The valve assembly rests on four brick supports over a four-inch minimum depth of three-quarter-inch crushed gravel bed, with landscape fabric wrapping the bottom and sides of the box. Schedule eighty PVC mainline and lateral piping connect to the valve using PVC unions, with wire loops secured via black electrical tape and joined using waterproof wire connectors. All threaded fittings require an approved non-hardening Teflon assembly paste, and piping must utilize standard box openings without cutting the box.
