DURAPIPE UK'S EASYFIT VALVE WINS INTERNATIONAL GOOD DESIGN AWARD
27/04/2011 Durapipe UK
Durapipe UK has scooped a prestigious Good Design award for its innovative Easyfit valve which launched last year.Competing against a record number of entries from around the globe, the award provides international recognition for Durapipe's Easyfit valve, propelling it onto a world-class stage.
The pioneering Easyfit valve impressed judges with its creative design which allows customers to brand or label the valve through specialist software, as well as allowing the valve to be installed in more confined spaces than any other ball valve on the market. This innovative technology means that companies can easily 'own-brand' the valve or alternatively label the valve with the chemical that the pipework is carrying, increasing plant efficiency as pipelines are easily identifiable.
Founded by four leading architects in Chicago in 1950, Good Design awards bestow international recognition upon the world's most prominent designers and manufacturers. Awards are presented to those designs which demonstrate new, visionary and innovative concepts, invention and originality, and for going beyond what is considered ordinary product design.
Marketing manager at Durapipe UK, Mitchell Holmes, says: "We are exceptionally proud to have received an international accolade for our Easyfit valve. Its ground-breaking technology, coupled with its simplicity, offers practicalities to companies that are unrivalled and this Good Design award recognises this on a global level.
"Demand for the valve has already been massive and we expect this to increase now it has become an award-winner."
Available in sizes up to 63mm, the Easyfit valve is manufactured in PVC and PVC-C materials and is ideal for a variety of industrial applications including chemical, water treatment and processing plants.
