Becker Below Grade Option

The Becker Below Grade Ball Valve Regulator option is unique to Becker and provides a multitude of benefits by direct burial of the control valve itself. The valve actuator, lubrication lines and drain lines are extended above grade while the ball valve remains below grade. Primary advantage of Becker Below Grade Regulators is inexpensive noise attenuation in excess of 25 dBA

Becker has been utilizing the Below Grade Ball Valve Regulator for several decades with excellent success. Below Grade Ball Valve Regulator customers are repeat customers.
