Raufoss Water & Gas AS has been granted the Award for Design Excellence for ISIFLO SPRINT.
Raufoss Water & Gas AS is proud to inform that we have been granted the desirable Award for Design Excellence for our new ISIFLO Sprint composite push-in fittings. Together with the Design agency K8 we received the award in Oslo at the Norwegian Design Council 11.03.09.
Jury’s verdict
Isiflo Sprint’s push-in principle and material is the first of its kind in the pipe connection industry. It is easy to assemble and you do not need any special tools. The components are easy to grip even when wearing a large pair of gloves. The product’s ergonomic design and assembly principle make it more accessible for fitters whose ability to grip is impaired than previous pipe connections. It is so easy and intuitive to fit that even DIY enthusiasts will definitely manage it. The product has a robust, timeless design. It is the reliable choice for products which will last. It appears solid and fit for purpose. Its corrosion-free material ensures it has a long service life, and it also saves us from problems with leaks and other repairs.
The Award for Design Excellence is a leading award for design in Norway and is given to both manufacturers and designers who have cooperated on the development of products. The award is granted in recognition of the successful use of design as a strategic tool in products development and market communication.
