THE PROJECT
The valve is an industrial object, subjected to intense stress. It’s therefore very important that it’s extremely robust and reliable over time, that it functions very well and is calibrated and precise in its opening and closing movements. This project is a brilliant example of design for work.

ERGONOMY
The shape is designed so that the hand can have a secure grip on the tap, even when wearing work gloves, and can hold the object with a certain amount of force. We have created asymmetrical facets on the knob to make it even easier to close the valve.

FUNCTIONALITY
The bright colours and the grip give a graphic movement to the piece communicating visually the opening or closing of the flow. The opening level is indicated with immediate clarity in the centre of the valve. The new patented DiaLock system allows the valve to be locked in over 300 positions.
