This article describes the construction of a gate valve adaptor which can be used when installing a water main gate‐valve‐box setting to eliminate any settling or shifting of the valve box. The adaptor is cost effective since it eliminates future excavation and resetting of the box, and eliminates the possibility of an improper key set due to settling or shifting.
