Abstract:
A valve includes a cover that is transparent and configured to allow a valve orientation to be visible through the valve cover. The cover may couple to existing mounting bolts of the valve operator housing such that the cover may be retrofitted onto existing valves. The cover may be sized and shaped to prevent water, or other weather, ingress into the valve operator housing.
