Vatette is a highly trusted Scandinavian brand, specialising in plumbing connection systems. For decades, they have been at the forefront of supplying high-quality fittings and manifold systems to the plumbing industry in Europe. Their products are widely used for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, where precision, safety and reliability are paramount.
In partnership with INHAABIT, Vatette launched an advanced 3D Manifold Configurator that aims to revolutionise the specifications process. Powered by INHAABIT’s Modular Configurator Platform, the web-based solution was created to simplify the task of planning and configuring manifold systems, helping installers and designers work faster and with greater confidence.
The Challenges of Manifold Design
Previously, the process of installing a manifold system required detailed technical diagrams and extensive planning. With a large range of specific parts, installers could face unexpected challenges with complex plumbing configurations and layouts.
Additional considerations were that installers would need to manually check the compatibility of parts and take detailed measurements to ensure a layout would fit in a cabinet. If an issue was discovered, parts may need to be reordered, resulting in delays and additional costs.
A 3D Manifold Configurator is the Solution
With the challenges in mind, Vatette approached INHAABIT to develop an advanced 3D Manifold Configurator, automating and streamlining the process.
Vatette’s V6 Manifold Configurator leverages the latest 3D technology, allowing customers to configure, customise and see manifold parts in real time, ensuring selections are accurate and installation ready. The configurator automatically checks parts are compatible and uses drag & drop to snap them into place.
Customers can start with a preset manifold design or build a new layout. They can specify their cabinet dimensions and drain position to accurately create their layout.
A wide range of fittings, manifolds, wall brackets and accessories are available, all displayed in realistic 3D.
Key features of the 3D Manifold Configurator include:
- Ultra-realistic 3D Visualisation – Customers can pan and zoom the layout in high quality 3D to inspect the manifold parts, make adjustments and gain clarity before ordering.
- Business Rules & Sizing – The configurator aligns with Vatette’s business rules to ensure designs are accurate and parts are compatible. Measurements can be toggled on / off to verify sizing.
- Easy of Use & Instant Feedback – Custom manifold designs can be created in minutes with no special skills required. Parts can be easily changed and visualised within a cabinet layout.
- Accurate Parts List – Customers can export an accurate part list as a PDF document or Excel sheet to streamline purchasing and installation.
- Save & Retrieve Designs – Configurations can be easily saved and retrieved using smart email links.
Vatette’s 3D Manifold Configurator makes the plumbing design process faster, more accurate and more reliable. It streamlines the previously complex process of creating specifications with an online tool that anyone can use.
For Vatette’s customers, the configurator provides significant time savings and accuracy. It reduces delays in the process so that customers can intuitively build a system that meets their requirements and fits in their cabinet.
It reinforces Vatette’s position as a leader in plumbing systems who places their customers first.
