Valve & Surface Boxes
In any modern infrastructure, the ability to reliably access and protect underground utility controls is paramount. Our heavy-duty Cast Iron Valve and Surface Boxes are engineered precisely for this purpose. Manufactured in the industrial heartland of Durgapur, these boxes provide robust, secure, and lasting protection for critical components like valves, meters, and stopcocks, shielding them from traffic loads, soil pressure, and environmental damage.
Crafted from high-grade grey cast iron or high-strength ductile iron, each box is built for exceptional durability and longevity. The lids are often marked for clear utility identification (e.g., “WATER”, “GAS”) and designed for a secure, stable fit to prevent rattling and unauthorized access.
Standard: Grey Cast Iron (Grade FG 200 as per IS 210).
High-Strength Option: Ductile Iron for high-traffic areas requiring superior impact resistance.
Material conforms to IS 210.
Design principles align with municipal engineering best practices and international standards such as BS 5834 (for surface boxes).
Shape: Circular, Rectangular, or Square.
Markings: Standard or custom lettering (embossed or cast) for utility identification.
Security: Standard drop-in/loose lids. Optional locking or bolt-down features are available on request.
Standard: Coated inside and out with black bitumen paint for excellent corrosion resistance.
ÂOptional: Epoxy coating available for enhanced protection.
Key Features
Robust Protection: Shields underground valves and fittings from damage caused by surface traffic, ground pressure, and weather.
Secure & Easy Access: Allows authorized personnel quick and direct access for operation, inspection, and maintenance.
Adjustable Depth: Telescopic valve box designs offer on-site height adjustment, accommodating variations in pipe depth without needing to be cut or replaced.
Exceptional Durability: Made from cast iron or ductile iron for superior compressive strength and a multi-decade service life.
Clear Identification: Lids can be custom cast with utility markings (WATER, SEWER, GAS, VALVE) for easy identification and prevention of operational errors.
Stable Installation: Designed with a wide base or flange for excellent stability within the surrounding soil or pavement.
