ABSTRACT:
A valve cover for covering a buried valve and permitting access thereto with a two piece, rigid plastic housing having a square cross section which resists rotation in the ground. The housing is capped with a cast iron collar which fits inside the top end of the housing and has apertures in the portions engaging the housing walls through which the plastic extends to lock the collar to the housing. Adjacent the lower end of the housing are opposing apertures in the housing walls through which the pipes extend from the valve. A plurality of fingers extend outward from the housing about each aperture to form a tapering passage which will accommodate different sizes of pipes.
