A valve box lock for preventing unauthorized access to a shut off valve including a security bolt extending through a hole in a valve box cover and received into a threaded hole in a cam piece mounted to the undersurface of the cover, the cam piece is moved up and down by rotation of the security bolt in either direction. The cam piece engages a pair of locking plates which are moved radially out into engagement with an inner surface of the valve box to prevent removal of the cover when the security bolt is rotated in one direction, or are retracted radially to release the cover so as to be able to be removed. A automatic lubricating arrangement is associated with the security bolt to insure that it is able to be turned by excluding any.

A shroud for covering a portion of a utility line, such as the end of a clean out line for an in-ground sewer is encompassed by the present disclosure. The shroud can include a body forming a cavity for enclosing a portion of a utility line and an access port for accessing the utility line. A method for covering a portion of a utility line is also provided.

Provided is an enclosure with an integrated hydrant. The enclosure includes a fluid flow conduit that transfers fluid from a fluid supply tube to a fluid outlet, which may be associated with the backflow preventer. The enclosure has a conduit that carries water from the fluid supply tube to the backflow preventer. Thus, a lower profile, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing enclosure is provided.

The disclosure teaches an adjustable/extendable piping system/module for associating fluid access products (such as fire hydrants) to a buried fluid source. The piping system defines an adjustable configuration that allows for the overall length of the piping system to be modified to compensate for different bury depths. The disclosure further teaches a flex module configured for associating a fluid product with a piping system connected to a fluid source. The flex module is configured to flex a predefined amount to prevent damage to the system from low energy impacts.

A pit defining an opening and having a footing. Cutouts are located in the footing and are created in mold to avoid secondary cutting operations. The wall of the pit above the footing is narrower than the footing and includes ribs extending from the wall for added compressive resistance. The ribs may vary in size both in length and extension into the center of the pit.
