Ask for Black: King Innovation® Granted Trademark for Black Underground Waterproof Connectors

June 21, 2010 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

O’FALLON, MO- Go to any Irrigation Distributor, anywhere across the United States, and ask for a black connector.  Each time, you can be guaranteed that it will be a quality DryConn® Waterproof Connector.  That’s because King Innovation has been granted the black color trademark for all underground irrigation and landscape lighting waterproof connectors.

After over four years of working closely with trademark attorneys, the day has finally come when black means King, all the time.  President Frank Vlasaty notes, “It’s extremely rewarding for me to know that irrigation and landscape lighting professionals recognize the black waterproof connector from King as the standard for quality in waterproofing splices.  We are all very excited to have been granted this legal recognition, and are proud to have the King name behind this core industry product.”

This is an exciting time for King, and all of the customers we service in the irrigation and landscape lighting channels.  Trademarking the color black for our Black Series of waterproof connectors lets our customers know that they have protection from inferior knockoffs and counterfeit products.  Distributors and Contractors alike will now be assured that they are using a genuine King Innovation DryConn connector product when performing irrigation and landscape lighting projects.

DryConn® original Black Series has become known in the industry as quality in waterproof irrigation connectors.  Connectors are UL 486D Listed, rated 600V, and pre-filled with dielectric silicone sealant to tightly seal splices exposed to condensation, water vapors, or dust.  Black Series Connectors are a Contractor’s first choice for irrigation installation and repairs, or for use in landscape lighting systems.  The line includes Black/White, Black/Gray and Black/Blue connectors, which together cover a variety of wire combinations from #22 up to #6 AWG.
