Cómo se dice en inglés "algo marca X".
Por ejemplo:
"Instalaciones de cloacas y agua terminadas según plano y con caños termofusión marca X o Y"
"Instalación eléctrica con tomas marca Z"
Mis intentos:
"............. with X or Y brand thermofusion pipes"
"Electrical wiring with Z brand switches"
¿O dónde iría el término 'brand'?
Gracias!

Comment: "Thank you Mario. Pre-modification without using the word ‘brand’ was indeed my first choice (and I’ll use that, as you and DLyons confirm it’s the most natural option in English) but I suddenly wondered whether it was possible to word it somehow including the term ‘brand’ in the phrase and you also provided that alternative (although it clearly doesn’t sound as natural in English). Thank you DLyons too, I wish I could split the points!"

It's usually omitted. e.g "Concealed ISI copper wiring with Siemens switches"

: And if using the trade name at all, I'd usually put it before the name of the gizmo... e.g. "Wiegand switches".
