Travelers Rest, S.C. - November 6, 2009 - T&S Brass, a leading manufacturer of reliable plumbing and foodservice equipment, has received the 2009 InnoVision Technology Award in the category of sustainability for the development of the water-conserving B-0108 spray valve.
InnoVision is the premier awards program focused exclusively on celebrating achievements in innovation and technological excellence in the South Carolina Upstate region. The Sustainability Award recognizes an organization for developing and/or applying innovative technology to provide products or processes that support environmental stewardship.
T&S Brass was recognized for its innovative engineering behind the B-0108 spray valve, which helps facilities significantly reduce water consumption. At 1.2 GPM, the valve can save thousands of gallons of water per year compared to a 1.6 GPM federal limit valve (based on five hours of use per day at 60 PSI). Designed for sustainability, the B-0108 is EPAct 2005 compliant, endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association, and can help towards receiving credits for LEED certification through water savings. Additionally, T&S Brass recently released the new B-0108-C spray valve, which saves even more water by operating at 0.65 GPM.
Other finalists in the category of sustainability were Michelin Americas Research Company and Upstate Forever. For more information on T&S Brass, please visit www.tsbrass.com or follow on Twitter (@tsbrass). For more information on InnoVision, visit www.innovisionawards.org.
