T&S Brass and Bronze Works, a leading manufacturer of foodservice and commercial plumbing products, has been named a Kitchen Innovations (KI) Award recipient by the National Restaurant Association (NRA) for its newly launched EasyInstall Hose Reel Cabinet. 

Selected annually, KI Awards recipients represent the gold standard for equipment innovations that support restaurant operators and advance the foodservice industry. This is T&S' second consecutive year receiving a KI Award. 

"T&S is proud to work closely with our customers to solve the problems they see every day, and we're honored that this innovative spirit has again been recognized with a Kitchen Innovations Award," said Claude Theisen, T&S president and CEO. "This recognition is a credit to the hardworking T&S team who have been the ones to uphold our traditions of excellence and customer service for 75 years."

Designed to prevent common problems in the field, the pre-assembled EasyInstall Hose Reel Cabinet takes the guesswork out of hose reel installation and ensures a smooth, streamlined installation no matter the circumstances.

The new EasyInstall Hose Reel Cabinet can be installed either recessed in the wall using an included flange or surface-mounted on the wall. The hose reel cabinet also reduces the complexity of specifying a hose reel by ensuring all the necessary components for a complete installation are included. 

KI Award winners will be featured in a showcase space at the annual National Restaurant Association Show, being held May 21-24 in Chicago. Because of Covid-related cancellations of the NRA Show in 2020 and 2021, awardees from those years will also be featured in the KI Showroom. This exhibit will include T&S WaterWatch, which received a KI Award in 2021.
