Description of Change:
The Airflow, Vertex and XF-Euro Couplings will now have a PCL branded blue silicone band to enable easy identification.The thickness of couplings in each of these three key ranges has increased to neatly house the blue band.
The Safeflow Safety series will now include a blue sticker with PCL logo and Union Jack flag, instead of a black sticker.
Reason for Change:
Significant investment in the distinctive blue silicone band results in immediate identification that the product is a genuine “Made in Sheffield” PCL coupling, meaning customers can feel safe in the knowledge that if it has the blue band, it’s a true PCL coupling.
Anticipated impact on fit, form, function or reliability:
None.
Implementation Date:
When current stock is exhausted.
