Great for use with manifold systems
This is the third time I've installed one of these valve box bases. They are absolutely perfect for use with the the manifold systems available from Orbit or Action Machining. They both support the valve and eliminate the need to use bricks or other blocking material to hold the box off of the pipes. The only downside is that they only make the base in one size and it only fits 12-inch-height valve boxes (I've used this base with both Orbit and NDS boxes)Tips for a perfectionist install:1. When you install the "mousehole" covers on your valve box, drill a small hole through the cover and the box near the top of the cover (rounded end) and use an appropriate sized stainless steel sheet metal screw (or a stainless steel machine screw and a matching nut) to permanently secure the mousehole cover to the box.2. Cut a piece of landscaping fabric (weed barrier) about 8 inches longer and wider than the base, and put it under the base before you install your valves and pipes. This keeps mud from seeping up from below.3. If you are using pipe smaller than 1-inch, stuff some wadded-up pieces of landscaping fabric around the pipe where they go through the base. This keeps mud from seeping through the gaps between the pipes and the base.4. After you've packed all the dirt back in around the box, vacuum out any dirt that's on top of the landscaping fabric from tip 2, then pour pea gravel inside the box and spread it around until it's about a half-inch deep int the bottom of the box.

The key to a simple and uncluttered irrigation box
I'm a DIY guy and have configured residential irrigation systems in about three homes. Generally I have two manifold boxes, with three or four valves each. Using this base really makes a clean installation possible. The valves sit nicely on the frame, holes are provided for source water and zone lines, and the box sits right on it.Using this costs you a bit, but you'll be glad you spent the extra - highly recommended!

Works great!! Also compatible with NDS riser cover box
This was a great base to incorporate your pass through fitting/lines. And works with a NDS base with minimal cutting. Before finding this I figured I was going to have to notch the cover box. Once you get the base in place you simply set the top on it. The base is also easier to level.
