I have 4 valves and would like to use this base but i am not sure which boxes this will fit that hold 4 valves. do i have to use the orbit box?

You don’t have to use the orbit box. I used an NDS 113BC Standard Series Valve Box Cover. Pretty sure any 14X19 inch valve box will work. If you got a 4 valve set up this base is awesome with the orbit manifolds. Makes for a very neat and orderly installation. I put a base of gravel under the base for additional stability but just using this base will keep your valves from sinking in to the ground over time. Hope this helps.

I have a 12x17 valve box. The description says it will fot 12" and bigger? I dont understand

Hey Julie. They give a lot of verbiage but not the info that you need! Some valve boxes like what you already have are 21-1/2”L x 16”W. Others are 26-1/8” X 19-5/8W. But like you found, the bases don’t say exactly which box they fit! Some times I’ll order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t work. It’s SO easy to return things that are described inaccurately. Not much help but if enough people complain when returning stuff we’ll get their attention. The base itself it awesome. Before I had it ants & slugs came up through the soil & inhabited the inside of my box. Suggestion though, dig it deep enough so you can lay some plastic or weed barrier material down, then cover that with a couple inches of small pea gravel

Why does the valve keep running when it should be off?

There may be dirt or a hole perhaps in diaphram. There is also a small port at the front of valve body better seen on disassembly,that can be stopped up

One picture shows the base with a green topped cover. Does it come with the cover?

The base fits on the bottom of separately sold box. The base is nice because it holds your valves perfectly along with access holes for your inlet piping, but it's an accessory to the box with cover you need to purchase.
