Durable irrigation thanks to pre-assembled valve boxes

Irrigation specialist VBS from Sint Lenaerts-Brecht has been supplying future-oriented, sustainable and efficient irrigation systems and solutions to garden contractors, installers and landscapers for more than thirty years. The Certified Irrigation Designer also prepares for them a piping diagram, planting plan and detailed materials list - thus guaranteeing uniformity and flexibility. And the drip hoses and valve boxes developed by VBS have become the industry reference.

The VBS range includes everything the green professional needs to build a perfect irrigation system, both for private gardens and for public greens and golf courses. The range includes drip hoses, spray heads, drippers, piping systems, root irrigators, controllers, controls and advanced valve boxes. All systems are adapted to the planting, soil and climate. 

An illustration of problem-solving thinking at VBS is the valve box. Paul Hermans, managing director: "If the garden consists of several zones, you will also have to install several control valves. And that's often where the shoe pinches. How do you get all those valves mounted neatly? Usually they are contained in what we call a Valve Box. Getting the valves into such a box without leaks requires some skill. We wanted to tackle that differently. Thinking out of the box? You can take that literally and figuratively at VBS!"

VBS now removes that barrier with its new, pre-assembled valve boxes. Fast, simple and completely leak-free. So you no longer have to assemble the valves yourself, saving you considerable time. The boxes are available with two or four pre-assembled valves, each with a hand valve. 

Paul Hermans: "An additional advantage is that you can easily combine these boxes with a Rain Bird or VBS hydrant. They are also available with a Bluetooth controller. Just install the battery, and you have a fully automatic irrigation system that you control via your smartphone. A better and more reliable irrigation system is hard to imagine."

Irrigation Professional

The expertise of VBS Irrigation Systems speaks volumes. Managing director Paul Van Breda was the first European ever to obtain several certificates as an Irrigation Professional. It is precisely because of this know-how that Paul Van Breda is regularly deployed by PCLT and EDU Plus to teach green professionals the necessary expertise and train them to become good installers.
