Larsens VCS1818RFG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Larsens VCS1818RFG and VCS1818SMFG valve cabinets?
Mounting is the difference. The VCS1818RFG is the recessed cabinet, set into the wall, with an 18 x 18 x 8 inch inside box and a 21.5 inch outside trim flange. The VCS1818SMFG is the surface mounted version, hung on the face of the wall, with a 21.5 x 21.5 x 8.5 inch inside box. Both are steel, Architectural style with a full glass door, and both take one 2-1/2 inch fire department valve with cap and chain. If you have block, existing finished walls, or anything you cannot cut into, take the surface mount.
2) What rough opening do I need to frame for a Larsens VCS1818RFG recessed valve cabinet?
Frame a 19 inch high rough opening with 8.25 inches of depth for the VCS1818RFG. The box itself is 18 x 18 x 8 inches and the trim flange runs 21.5 inches, so the flange covers the cut edge once the cabinet is set. Wall cavity depth is the number that catches people out: you need the full 8.25 inches clear behind the finished face, which rules out a standard 2x4 stud wall without furring or a chase.
3) Will a Larsens VC Series cabinet fit a 2-1/2 inch fire department connection valve?
That is exactly what the VC Series is sized for: one 2-1/2 inch fire department valve with cap and chain. Both the recessed VCS1818RFG and the surface mounted VCS1818SMFG take a single valve, not two, so a standpipe outlet with a pair of valves or a valve plus a hose rack needs a larger cabinet.
4) Can I recess a valve cabinet into an existing finished wall, or do I need the surface mount version?
Recessing means cutting a 19 inch high opening with 8.25 inches of clear depth behind the finish, so on an existing wall you have to know what is in that cavity before you cut. Where you cannot, the VCS1818SMFG surface mounted cabinet mounts to the wall face instead and needs no opening at all. Its box is 21.5 x 21.5 x 8.5 inches, so plan for it standing off the wall by that depth in the corridor.
5) Does the Larsens VC Series valve cabinet meet ADA requirements?
Yes, the VC Series is ADA compliant. For an institutional or municipal job where the inspector is checking protrusion into the path of travel, that matters most on the surface mounted VCS1818SMFG, since a recessed VCS1818RFG sits inside the wall and only the 21.5 inch trim flange stands proud.
6) What kind of door does the Larsens VC Series valve cabinet have, and can you see the valve through it?
Full glass door in a steel frame, Architectural style. The full glass panel means the valve, cap, and chain are visible without opening the cabinet, which is what an inspector wants on a walk-through and what keeps a valve from being quietly hidden behind a solid panel. The steel frame is what takes the abuse in a corridor or parking structure.
7) Will the Larsens VCS1818RFG match the other Architectural style cabinets already in my building?
The VC Series is built in Larsens Architectural cabinet style with a steel frame and full glass door, so it reads the same as other Architectural line cabinets on the same floor. For a property manager standardizing a fleet of openings, the thing to match is the trim: the recessed VCS1818RFG carries a 21.5 inch outside trim flange, and that flange dimension is what governs how it lines up against neighboring recessed cabinets.
