History Brand Awards Press Room Partnerships Newport Brass Displays New Products at 2011 DPHA Conference 8/25/2011 Santa Ana, Calif. (August 2011) – Excitement and anticipation around the Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Association (DPHA) Annual Conference and Product Showcase grows with each year. For 2011 the event will take place October 14-16 at the San Jose Convention Center. During these three days DPHA members view new products, exchange ideas with peers, and gain knowledge on process and operational improvements that encourage sales and business growth. Newport Brass is proud to be exhibiting their new products at the 2011 DPHA Conference. The new bath collections include the following: ITHACA – Much like Greek architecture, smooth columns create the foundation for the faucet and handles which are then accented by soft concentric rings at their base. KIARA –The proud arch of the spout and the fountain-like handles feature a ridge that accentuates the fresh design elements found in this collection. METRO – Metro exemplifies modern design with its clean, precise lines and superb combination of two basic geometric forms. PRIYA – Water seems to leap from the perfectly arched “C” shaped spout that is the center of Priya’s modern design. KEATON – Perfectly round bars turn at precisely angled corners creating a sleek, contemporary design aesthetic. Also on display will be new accessories in the Secant Collection as well as the new Cinu accessories from GINGER (another premium decorative plumbing brand manufactured by Brasstech, Inc.) An Exposed Tub Riser Stabilizer Kit will be part of the Newport Brass exhibit at the DPHA event. Because free-standing bath tubs have gained in popularity, Newport Brass has created a product that can be used to stabilize the exposed tub risers with an attachment to a wall or an overflow pipe.
