1 the acquaviva collection

2 SIXTY YEARS OF INNOVATION To mark its sixtieth birthday, Nobili refuses to resort to half measures and treats itself to a brand new unmistakable collection. The simultaneous appeal of a fresh and modern line is wrapped in an intense technological tradition forever present in the DNA of the brand: the innovation of the Nobili Widd 28 cartridge is reflected in the everyday use of the mixer, that of saving water and energy. ORDER AND EQUILIBRIUM. ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY. Geometric proportions and cutting-edge technology. The new Acquaviva collection celebrates sixty years of innovation, making the most of modern captivating styling, with lines that are neat and well-balanced in every detail and from all points of view. It uses the best available technology, starting with the adoption of the Nobili Widd 28 cartridge with its mere 28 mm diameter, the most advanced technological expression in the sector, and so small. It uses the production quality of the Suno factory, where the entire collection comes to life, one component at a time, in futuristic and eco-friendly workshops. It respects the environment, adopting solutions capable of reducing consumptions, reducing management costs and saving the planet. The Acquaviva collection, happy birthday Nobili.

3 ACQUAVIVA Pure style and harmony of form: the Acquaviva collection is available in four washbasin versions, (traditional mixer tap, wash bowl version or wall-mounted with 150 mm or 200 mm spout), bidet, bath, external shower and flush-fit shower versions and two sink versions. The adoption of the mere 28 millimetre diameter Nobili Widd 28 immersion cartridge combines a greatly reduced cross-section with incredibly clean lines, and a tall outlet spout flush with the mixer body.

6 THE HEART OF THE ACQUAVIVA MIXER The Acquaviva collection has its own technological jewel, the only one of its kind in the world: the extraordinary Nobili Widd 28 Water Immersion Dry Disc cartridge, designed and produced entirely in our own factories, the only cartridge capable of incorporating so many technological details in just 28 millimetres diameter. Technologies that guarantee unequalled reliability and very environmentally friendly use. Brass movement control system Anti-vibration lever mounting system Nobili WaterSaving dynamic flow regulator Nobili EcoFresh temperature limiter Nobili EcoPlastic food-grade plastic Nobili LiveDrive ceramic clutch type disc system Nobili Blockade maximun flow control The Nobili Widd 28 immersion cartridge allows reliability levels to be reached that were unimaginable up until now (torsional strength 18 Nxm, high pressure resistance to over 70 Bar). The water reaches the top of the mixer body flowing around the profile of the cartridge, thus drastically reducing mechanical wear: there are no internal limescale deposits and no grease is washed away. In this way, the lubrication of the plates remains unaltered and, furthermore, the low friction clutch system of the ceramic discs ensures an incredibly smooth movement of the lever. The dynamic flow regulator, maximum flow control, temperature limiter and the use of food-grade materials guarantee total respect for the environment.

7 THE TECHNOLOGY The technological efficiency and pure style of the Acquaviva collection are the result of the extremely high-tech heart with which it is fitted: use of the Nobili Widd 28 cartridge, the only one in the world capable of housing so many innovations in just 28 millimetres diameter, signifies being able to design elegant and minimalist forms and at the same time reach the highest possible levels of eco-sustainability. Dynamic flow regulator The Nobili WaterSaving technology halves the consumption of water by applying a brake to the opening action of the lever at the half flow position (-50%). Once this slight resistance has been overcome, the mixer is free to output all the flow available. Maximum flow control The Nobili Blockade technology allows the user to decide on the maximum flow that the mixer tap can output. Once the maximum flow has been selected, simply place the corresponding insert in the cartridge. Temperature limiter Nobili EcoFresh technology prevents risks of scalding and at the same time reduces the consumption of hot water: the maximum temperature of the water output from the mixer can be varied by rotating a ring nut on the cartridge. Fluid movements The low friction of the clutch type ceramic discs avoids friction between the plates when the mixer lever is turned to the closed position, thus reducing wear of the plates and guaranteeing the soft fluid movement of the lever. A brilliant finish The gleaming polished finish is guaranteed by chrome plating values higher than the market standard: 15.0 μm of Nickel and 0.5 μm of Chrome. All the processes are carried out at our own factories in full compliance with environmental standards. Neoperl Cascade aerator A perfect flow of water in minimalist style: the Neoperl Cascade concealed aerator fitted to the Acquaviva collection supplies the ideal mix of air and water, increasing the jet pressure while reducing the amount of water output. Non-twist plastic hose The ideal component to provide that extra touch of perfection to the bathroom setting: the special metal-effect finish enhances the tap system, while the smooth surface prevents the annoying twisting typical of traditional hoses. Parigi Parinox Softpex hoses The first flexible pipe approved anywhere in the world, thanks to its superior internal hygiene properties, its optimum resistance to temperature and pressure and its improved flexibility compared to pipes in traditional PE-X. Support flange The flange type support supplied with all our kitchen mixer taps extends the bearing area over the sink top and greatly increases stability, reducing any oscillation in particularly thin mounting surfaces.
