Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a watering faucet box generally comprises a tubular watering faucet box main body and a lid which is provided at an upper opening portion so as to be opened and closed. This conventional water faucet box is arranged in such a manner that the water faucet is constructed so as to surround the water faucet and is buried in the side peripheral surface of the water faucet box in the ground. It is generally installed. The sprinkler box thus installed has its lid flush with the ground with only its lid exposed on the land surface so as not to be an obstacle.

[0003] The spigot box used in this way is:
Since a certain strength is required to be used in such a way that it is integrated with the land, etc., it is generally formed entirely of a metal material such as cast steel. Is also manufactured.

[0004]

However, first, a plumbing contractor first installs a spigot, and then a civil engineering company installs a spigot box. Work is often performed at different times by different contractors. For this reason, the size of the faucet box may not be accurately recognized as designed, or even if the size is recognized, the construction direction of the faucet may differ from the design. That is, as shown in FIG.
The sprinkler 23 is constructed so that the connecting portion 23a is simply fixed on the land 21 with the mortar 21a in a state where the end pipe portion 22a of the pipe 22 buried in the land 21 is connected. However, the construction position tends to be rough to some extent. In contrast, the conventional water tap box 30 is
The water faucet box body 31 includes a lid 32 provided to open and close the upper opening 31a of the water faucet box body 31, and surrounds the water faucet 23 constructed as described above. Since the water faucet box 30 is installed, the installation position of the water faucet box 30 is almost fixed in relation to surrounding buildings and roads. For this reason, it is often difficult to install the faucet box main body 31 so that the faucet is accurately arranged at a predetermined position as designed.

If the position of the spigot 23 in the spigot box main body 31 is not accurate, the position of the spigot 23 is deviated, and the edge or the peripheral wall of the spigot box main body 31 and the lid 3 are closed.
The space between the spigot 2 and the edge of the spigot 2 becomes small, so that the handle 23b of the water tap 23 cannot be turned. Also, since the direction of the faucet 23c of the water tap 23 is not the predetermined direction and is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, the faucet 23c
The sprinkling hose 25 connected to the spigot box body 31 via the joint 24 in the normal state is drawn out of the spouting box body 31 with the draw-out hole 32a.
