Confirm the original lid and box accept this bolt-and-clip arrangement. Use a tool that fits the penta head, keep the washer and clip in their intended positions, and make sure the cover sits properly after fastening. A matching tool is needed for future service access.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the VBLOCKP kit?

A penta-head bolt, washer and clip are included.

Can I use a standard hex socket on the bolt?

Select a tool that matches the penta head. VBLOCKH is the hex-head alternative.

Does this include a replacement lid?

No. It is locking hardware for a compatible valve-box lid.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

VBLOCKP pairs a penta-head fastener with the washer and clip used to retain a compatible lid. Choose this version when your maintenance plan calls for penta-tool access; compare its 3/8 x 2-1/4-inch bolt size with the existing lock location before ordering.
