Abstract:
Disclosed is a dual size valve base that provides a fitted surface having indentations, protrusions and/or shaped surfaces that align with the lower surface of two different size valves, so that the valves fit within the valve base and do not rotate or otherwise move when secured to the valve base. The valve base has a sufficiently large platform to maintain a valve in a secure position underground on a support surface, so that the valve remains aligned with access pipes and access ports.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of mounting different size valves on a valve base that limits rotation of said different size valves comprising:\n using said valve base to mount first size valves on a preselected portion of said valve base in a first direction so that first shaped surfaces of said preselected portion of said valve base match shaped surfaces on said first size valves; securing said first size valves to said predetermined portion of said valve base in said first direction so that said first shaped surfaces of said preselected portion of said valve base engage said shaped surfaces of said first size valves and limit rotation of said first size valves in said valve base; using said valve base to mount second size valves on said preselected portion of said valve base in a second direction so that second shaped surfaces of said preselected portion of said valve base are aligned with shaped surfaces of said second size valves; securing said second size valves to said predetermined portion of said valve base in said second direction so that said second shaped surfaces of said preselected portion of said valve base engage said shaped surfaces of second size valves and limit rotation of said second size valves in said valve base; placing said valve base on a support surface below ground level, said valve base engaging said support surface and substantially preventing movement of said first valves and second valves.
