6. Reattach the valve box cover on top of the valve box and, if available, lock
the cover to the box (recommended) (see ).
Option B: Mounting Column (model 30-831)
1. Excavate a trench from the valve to the column location and then pull a set
of colored wires from the valve area to the mounting column location (one
(1) pair for each valve). Each pair should consist of one (1) white wire, and
one (1) red or colored wire, preferably of differing colors. Each pair should
be taped and marked separately at both ends, so that the wires do not get
cross-connected (see ).
2. Insert the pairs of wires through the bottom of the mounting column and
push the wires up through the column until at least 6” (15 cm) of wire
extends from the top of the mounting column (see ).
3. Install the mounting column, setting the curved bottom of the mounting
column in an 8” x 8” x 6” (20 x 20 x 15 cm) frame and pour in the 90 lb (40 kg)
sack of cement (see detailed illustration). Make sure the column is vertical
and the opening in the curved bottom is accessible and unclogged (see ).

IMPORTANT:
Make sure the cement pad is dry before continuing
installation.
