June 2nd, 2023
To Our Valued Customers:
Please be advised effective Monday July 3rd, 2023, Merit Brass Company will be implementing list price adjustments on the following product lines:
• DOMESTIC LEADED BRASS FITTINGS – 7.5% INCREASE
• DOMESTIC LEAD-FREE BRASS FITTINGS – 6% - 8% INCREASE ON MOST ITEMS (SOME LEAD-FREE ITEMS WILL NOT CHANGE AND SOME WILL REFLECT LARGER INCREASES)
• CHROME-PLATED LEADED AND LEAD-FREE BRASS FITTINGS - LIST PRICES WILL INCREASE COMMENSURATELY.
• 3000# FORGED STAINLESS STEEL FITTINGS – VARYING DEGREE OF PRICE DECREASES ON SELECTED 304/304L ITEMS.
Domestic Brass increases are being implemented as a result of continued rising costs of labor, power, and materials. The larger increases are on items of low volume and higher production costs.
A restructured cost pricing matrix on 3000# Stainless Steel is allowing us to reduce list prices on a variety of 304/304L items.
New list prices are as follows and will be available on the website by the end of next week. We will send out another email notifying you when they are on our website.
• Domestic Brass Fittings (Leaded) List Price Sheet BRTF 723 supersedes BRTF 622
• Domestic Brass Fittings (Lead-Free) List Price Sheet LBRTF 723 supersedes LBRTF 622
