Essential Components to Ensure Performance, Fit & Identification
We’ve thought of every detail. Bingham & Taylor offers a full range of complementary products that enhance stability, safety, and security.
Paving Risers
Essential protection for long-term performance.
Cast iron paving risers extend service life by maintaining proper height and alignment through road resurface or grade changes. Available for nearly every size and configuration, they ensure lasting stability and a smooth, secure fit at grade.
Stabilizers
Vital to maintaining valve alignment and reliable operation.
Stabilizers center the operating nut in the box, preventing shifting, misalignment, or damage during installation and backfilling. They ensure smoother operation, reduce wear on components, and extend service life.
