Description

Due to their simple design, the TRINK drinking fountains are a good fit for any environment. It is available in two sizes. The taller option is accessible to disabled people because it’s wheelchair-friendly while the shorter design is easily accessible to children. We recommend the installation of the two together, but they might as well be used in multiple numbers and different combinations. TRINK has a simple appearance and a simple mechanical design. Water supply and drainage pipes stretch under the surface, which enables a comfortable, hygienic, and space-saving installation. The concrete body and the chromed copper faucet operate with a water-saving mechanism. The high-performance concrete combined with stainless steel components guarantee the drinking fountain’s durability. The drinking fountain comes with a complete set of mechanical fitting components, including a throttle valve and a pressure regulator.

VPI designs and creates advanced concrete furniture for public spaces. The company was founded by architects and landscape architects to invent new integrity in the design and technology of concrete products and their function in public spaces. Our developments target to radically widen the characteristics and possibilities of concrete in product design. Continuous experimenting allows us to create unbelievably smooth surfaces and formerly unimaginable structures. Our own concrete mixtures provide endless opportunities to design our products and to create shapes of unlimited variety.
