Dear Valued Customer,

Due to continued increases in material and transportation costs, LASCO will implement a List Price increase on October 1, 2021 for all Colonial Valve products. The increase will be 10% on all categories (current List Price divided by .90).

List Price Sheet VPS-31, (and for Slo-Close Ball Valves, price sheet VPSC-11) will be available in PDF and Excel format at www.lascofittings.com by Sept 20, 2021.

Due to the volatility of the raw material markets, printed copies of VPS-31 will not be distributed.

• Purchase orders received on or after 10/1/21 will be priced with the increase.
• POs with current pricing will be accepted through 9/30/21, but will be limited to 1 x your monthly average purchase quantity (prior 12-month average), with exceptions for approved project-orders previously quoted.

We appreciate your business and look forward to mutual growth and success.

Sincerely,

LASCO Fittings

Dear Valued LASCO Customers,

Effective Sunday, September 5, 2021, LASCO Fittings will increase Pressure List prices by 5% and DWV list prices will increase 6%. To arrive at the new list prices:

- Divide the September 1st pressure list prices by .95.
- Divide the August 29th DWV list prices by .94

The new list prices will be available in Excel format on our website at www.lascofittings.com within a few days. Orders received prior to 6pm CDT on Friday, September 3rd for pressure products will receive the September 1, 2021 list prices. Orders received prior to 6 pm CDT on Friday, September 3rd for DWV products will receive the August 29, 2021 list prices. All orders meeting allocation parameters are for immediate shipment and any unusually large orders may either be altered or denied.

These increases are the unfortunate result of Hurricane Ida’s impact on the petrochemical industry in the Gulf Coast and the announced material supply chain interruptions. LASCO’s thoughts and prayers are with all the families and businesses affected by this storm.

We, at LASCO, thank you for your continued support and please know your business is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
LASCO Fittings
