                (divide current price by .95)

                (divide current price by .93)
               (Large Diameter DWV (10” and 12”) fittings are not increasing at this time.)

Sincerely,

Bryan Jackman

Vice President Sales
LASCO Fittings, Inc.

We are pleased to announce the addition of molded 4-inch diameter energy-efficient sweep elbows to the existing LASCO family of energy-efficient elbows.  With this addition, LASCO now offers a full range of sizes: 1”, 1-½”, 2”, 2-½”, 3” and 4”.  Both SL/SL and SP/SL end configurations are available.  All in this family reduce pressure head losses - by up to ⅔ - when compared against conventional 90 degree elbows, thereby reducing pump energy consumption, and potentially allowing for pump downsizing without compromising flow rates.  All meet or exceed the performance requirements of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and its 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.  This addition further expands our extensive PVC and CPVC fittings portfolio and reflects our ongoing commitment to be a one-stop source for all of your fittings requirements.

The entire family of energy-efficient sweep elbows can be seen here: SlipxSlip and SlipxSpigot.  The 4” versions have been added to LASCO website catalogs and to both the Excel and PDF versions of published price lists.

Our team is always looking for ways to improve performance, which sometimes includes working with our provider to improve their systems. On Saturday, September 8, our hosting provider is moving our hosting operations to a new data center. Our scheduled downtime window is:

Start time: Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 11:00 pm Central

End time: Sunday, September 9, 2018 at 7:00 am Central

During this time, our website will be fully down. 

Thank you for your understanding as we work to provide you the best service possible for our site.

Sincerely,

LASCO Fittings, Inc.

September 1, 2017

Dear Valued Customer - 

Currently, the circumstances on PVC resin supply are in a strained capacity situation. Due to circumstances beyond our control, LASCO Fittings, Inc. has no choice but to implement a 10% List Price increase on PVC-DWV on September 18, 2017. However, we do not expect this to affect our ability to produce fittings. The effects of Hurricane Harvey have caused significant problems for many. 

To arrive at the new list prices, please divide the current list prices by .90. all prices will increase by only 10%. All orders shipping after September 18, 2017 will be invoiced at the new price. Current invoice multipliers remain the same. The new list prices will be on our website on Tuesday, September 5, 2017. This increase includes LARGE DIAMETER PVC-DWV as well. 

Orders will be limited to one-twelfth of our previous twelve-month historical purchase activity. These orders must be for immediate release and will be scheduled to ship from a LASCO CDC as soon as possible. No extended or dated order will be accepted. Truckload consists of the order being 60 pallets or $50,000 invoice value. Truckload shipment pricing will only be allowed for one shipment to one destination, within the contiguous United States. Any truckload orders that have more than one ship destination will be invoiced at the non-truckload pricing.  

New customers or newly returned customers will not have orders shipped any sooner than 5-7 business days. 

We appreciate your concern and understanding in this matter. Thank you for your business and continued support

Thank you -

March 31, 2017

Dear Valued Customer,

Due to competitive conditions, we must rescind our PRESSURE price increase of May 1, 2017. This is in spite of the continued escalation of PVC resin costs. If resin prices remain at the current levels or escalate further, we will again consider an increase at a later date.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused your company. We thank you for your continued support of LASCO Fittings, Inc.

February 9, 2017

Dear Valued Customer,

Effective Wednesday, March 1, 2017, we will implement a list price increase on our PVC-DWV fittings which will be approximately 6% over the current November 2016 list prices. Not all prices will increase by the same percentage. The new prices will be available in Excel and PDF format on our website at http://www.lascofittings.com/pricing on February 15, 2017. Large Diameter Fittings are not increasing at this time.

The additional 5% discount for Truckload orders of DWV at $50,000 net, or more, is still in place. There are no changes to invoice multipliers. No price protection will be allowed.

If you have any questions, please contact your LASCO Fittings, Inc. salesperson. We appreciate the opportunity to serve as your PVC fittings partner.

Sincerely,

LASCO Fittings, Inc.

All,

Here is a rundown of the updates:

Changes in the 9/1/16 update of VPS-25:

1. All  Industrial Series PVC and CPVC  TUBV (page 4) and Super C Valves (page 7) are now certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372.
2. NEW  Industrial TUBV PVC with Silicone o-rings for use with Sodium Permanganate in wastewater treatment systems.  Sold in ½ - 1” sizes for dosing systems.   Page 4
3. O-ring Kits for 131W SUBV, and 801 TUBV, page 7
4. NEW 411SV Butterfly Shut-off Valves for Surge Tanks (Commercial Swimming Pool/Water Park)  8 – 12”,  page 13.

• Surge tanks are used on gutter pools and commercial water features as a storage space for water displaced by swimmers. Water entering the gutters can flow to the surge tank through a gravity pipe. An automated float valve enables water to then be pumped from the surge tank back into the pool to replace the swimmers' volume after they have left the pool.
• The 411SV Shut off valve is installed on the gravity (drain) pipe.  It is submersible, and operates normally in the open position.  If maintenance calls for the surge tank to be drained, the operator will first close this shut-off valve, so the at the water in the pool does not drain.   The shut-off valve is often positioned deep and must be operated with an expensive stem extension and a gear operator or other actuation device.  The 411SV offers a simple, cost-effective alternative, because it can be opened and closed with a standard 2” valve key.  (V417681 valve key kit sold separately).    It is not meant to be throttled like a standard butterfly valve.  It is only meant to be used in the full-open or full-closed position, at low pressure.

5. BFV Contractor Kits are now available in 2-1/2” Size, page 15
6. NEW Wafer Check Valves – sold separately and in Contractor Kits with Flanges and bolt set, page 16

• A wafer check has a very small length, is lightweight, and mounts directly between two flanges, so it takes up less space in a system.  It is easily serviceable.  They are used in commercial pool / aquatic markets, as well as industrial process piping, water treatment, etc.    A wafer check has a reduced port, so there is some restriction of flow.  Designers take this into account when they specify them.  That is why we publish the Cv rating in the submittal.

7. The following Sch 40 TxT Ball Valves have been discontinued:  V14561N, V27561N, V30561N, V40561N
8. On the Slo-Close Valve Sheet VPSC-6  (9-1-16 update)

• We raised the List Price on select 3” SCVs.   (PVC end true union type only)

Dear Valued LASCO Customer - 

Our price increase/decrease is in line with industry standards and partly in response to the rise of resin.

The changes are in SCH 40, SCH 80P, SCH 80C and Insert categories. 

Please see list of revised pricing below:

Sincerely,

Jimmy White

Dear Valued Customer:

 RE:   PVC-DWV List Prices   

 Dear Valued Customer -    

Effective Monday, February 15, 2016, we will implement a list price increase on our PVC-DWV fittings which will be approximately 12% over the current February 2, 2015 list prices. Not all prices will increase by the same percentage. The new prices will be available in Excel and PDF format on our website at www.lascofittings.com on February 3, 2016.  Large Diameter Fittings are not increasing at this time.   

The additional 5% discount for Truckload orders of DWV at $50,000 net, or more, is still in place.  There are no changes to invoice multipliers. No price protection will be allowed.   

If you have any questions, please contact your LASCO Fittings, Inc. salesperson.  We appreciate the opportunity to serve as your PVC fittings partner.

Atlantic City Convention Center (1/26/16 - 1/28/16)

Come by our booth! # 1850

LASCO Fittings, Inc. has revised the price sheet for Slo-Close Ball Valves. The pdf has been updated on our website under pricing. There are no changes to pricing.  We have eliminated the choices of PVC/FKM, CPVC/EPDM, and CPVC/FKM for SCVs.  Those options have been in the price sheet from inception, only with the intent to market SCVs to the industrial chemical process piping sector.    

However, PVC/EPDM is suitable for all forms of irrigation, and 99.99% of sales from inception have been PVC/EPDM.  The additional material choices just created confusion among the customers.   Going forward, SCVs are available only in PVC/EPDM.   

The only CPVC content remaining on the price sheet is the CPVC union nut for 2” SCVs, but the valves themselves are still considered PVC/EPDM. 

LASCO Fittings, Inc. 

Dear Valued Customer,

With the continued escalation in material and other costs, LASCO Fittings, Inc. is implementing a 5% list price increase on all LASCO pressure products effective March 26, 2015.

DWV, HVAC, CTS, Apollo or Elkhart products are not increasing at this time.

Products receiving the increase are as follows:

Schedule 40 PVC Fittings Swing Joints

LASCO Fittings, Inc. is the First Fittings Producer to be Certified to PPFA's SM-CAP

GLEN ELLYN, Ill., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA) is pleased to announce that LASCO Fittings is the second company in North America and first fittings producer to be certified to PPFA's "Sustainable Manufacturing Conformity Assessment Program for Plastic Piping Components" (SM-CAP).  The program certifies reductions in a manufacturer's year-over-year environmental footprint by careful analysis and measurement of resource use.

Jack McDonald, President and CEO of LASCO Fittings, said:  "LASCO is very happy to have the first plastic fittings facility certified under PPFA's SM-CAP program. The program pushes us to create efficiencies in our manufacturing processes and improve the environmental footprint of our facilities."

Certification to SM-CAP means that a facility meets the requirements set forth in PPFA's "Sustainable Manufacturing Standard (SMS-01-2012)".  The standard establishes requirements for measuring both the existing environmental performance and the continuous improvement thereof by manufacturers of plastic piping system components. SMS 01-2012 applies to those who manufacture plastic piping system components and to the resources used in their manufacture.

SM-CAP creates year-to-year reductions in water use, energy use, packaging materials waste, material conversion efficiency, and product material waste.  In addition criteria are set to promote plant safety, safe product use, continual participation in industry Life Cycle Analysis, maintaining certification for American National Standards governing product quality and safety, and generally lowering the company's environmental footprint.

Richard Church, PPFA's Executive Director stated, "While the plastic pipe and fittings manufacturing process is very clean by any comparison to other manufacturing processes, our members felt PPFA needed to create a program that challenged the industry to continue to improve the process to leave less and less of an environmental footprint.  Our certification program lays the foundation for this to happen."
