I live in the mid south, and most water pressure regulators are installed in front of the home and buried in the ground. After 10-15 years, they often fail and need to be replaced. That means finding them and digging up so they can be replaced. My question is this: Why don't they put a clay pipe or something similar around them and put a cover over it? Water meters are installed that way. It seems burying it makes replacement much more costly and difficult.

Mine is right next to the meter , with a kitty litter bucket around it to keep the dirt away . Useta have a regular 5 gal bucket around it , I replaced that when I repaired the water line . Gravel truck ran over the meter box and pushed it down on the line .
If it failed it does not matter. Stick one inside.
