TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS,
All of us at Merit Brass are very grateful for your continued support and trust as we navigate these extraordinary times together.
We remain focused on doing everything we can to mitigate increased operating costs. However, the costs of raw materials, transportation, and energy continue to escalate. As a result, we will implement price adjustments on the product lines detailed below.
These changes apply to new orders placed on June 22, 2026, and are list price changes only; your current discount multipliers will remain unchanged. Because 316/L stainless steel costs have experienced a more pronounced and sustained increase compared to 304/L, list prices for 316/L nipples and 150# fittings will increase by 12%, while 304/L nipples and 150# fittings will increase by 8%.
Orders placed by the end of the day on June 19, 2026, will be honored at current pricing. We reserve the right to limit quantities based on historical purchase levels and product availability.
Additionally, please be aware our stainless-steel ANSI Flanges, Butt weld Fitting, and 3000# fitting lines will be transitioning to Price on Application (POA) effective June 2, 2026. For these items, published list prices will no longer be available, and pricing will be provided upon request at the time of inquiry. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to navigate dynamic market conditions.
Please note that the excel files will be available by June 4th and PDFs will be available the following week. Please contact your Merit Brass Sales Representative if you have any related questions or require additional assistance.
With Gratitude,
Merit Brass Co.
