The trend towards self-explanatory installation technology with modular elements for drinking water supply is continuing: wherever possible and if necessary system components should be able to be assembled without small parts which can get lost, without tools and without written assembly instructions; they should also have integral corrosion protection suitable for all soil types for a long, low-maintenance service life. While domestic connection adapters used to be simple elements, often made by the millwright, today’s house connection systems consist of small high-tech components which meet the client’s every need.
