Supplemental Payment Update – July 15, 2026:

We appreciate your continued patience while we finalize the supplemental distribution process.

Supplemental payments are expected to be issued on a rolling basis beginning by July 30, 2026 .

Based on current claim volume, it is estimated that the supplemental payment will represent 45% of each eligible Class Member’s approved claim amount for those who already have received an initial settlement payment . Combined with the initial distribution, which represented 25% of each approved claim amount , eligible Class Members will have received 70% of their approved claim , the maximum amount provided under the Settlement Agreement.

If your claim has been approved but you have not yet received your initial settlement payment, then it is estimated you will receive a single payment for the full 70% of your approved claim.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding as we complete the final steps of this process.

You may be entitled to benefits from a class action settlement if: (a) you have owned or occupied at any time since January 1, 2005, a residential or commercial structure in the United States that contains or contained NIBCO’s Pex Tubing, Fittings or Clamps and have unreimbursed costs or damages resulting from water leaking from one of these products, or (b) you have repaired or paid to repair damage resulting from water leaking from one of these products in one of these structures.

A proposed settlement has been preliminarily approved by the Court in a class action lawsuit about whether NIBCO, Inc. manufactured and sold defective Tubing, Fittings and Clamps (the “Covered Products”).

  • Fittings: ASTM F1807 yellow brass fittings manufactured or sold by NIBCO in the United States for use in PEX applications and used in residential or commercial structures.

  • Clamps: Stainless steel clamps manufactured or sold by NIBCO in the United States for use in PEX applications and used in residential or commercial structures. NIBCO stopped manufacturing this product in 2015, though the significant majority had been manufactured and sold by the end of 2012.
