FlowCon’s Dutch distributor, Easy-Fitt supplied both the contractor and the cooling ceiling manufacturer with FlowCon valves and other supplementary products. The choice for FlowCon valves was based on the contractor’s test results amongst several valve brands. Both FlowCon E-JUST and FlowCon Green, which were the selected valve types in the project, are pressure independent and incorporate FlowCon’s unique user-friendly and flexible insert solution.
