Thanks for this information!

Below copied from: http://phpic.ca/pdf/Benefits_Intro.pdf

[size=3][FONT=Helvetica]To fully cover you and your family for medical, dental, and Long Term Disability, the cost would be $251.92 per month. Single coverage will be $142.22 per month. If your spouse has medical and dental coverage, you can opt out of the medical and dental coverage and pay $83.10 per month for Long Term Disability coverage.[/FONT][/size]

This insurance coverage is very interesting indeed and so is the Canadian Pex plumbing lawsuit seminar!

If you own or owned a home or building containing a Plasco “Plumb-PEX” plumbing system, you could benefit from a class action settlement**

**
What is this class action lawsuit about?

[FONT=Arial]The lawsuit claimed that the Defendants designed, marketed, and sold Plasco Plumb-PEX Plumbing Systems, containing ASTM standard F1807 brass insert fittings and stainless steel clamps that may leak and cause damage to property. The Defendants deny all of the claims in the lawsuit.

The national Canadian Class Action was certified by the Honourable Justice Laing of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench on February 27, 2012. The case is known as Jeffrey Allen v. Uponor Ltd. (fka Uponor Canada Inc. and Uponor Canada Ltd.) and Uponor Inc. (successor to Uponor North America, Inc.), Q.B. No. 1247 of 2011. The person who sued is the Plaintiff, Jeffrey Allen and the companies sued, Uponor Ltd. and Uponor, Inc., are called the Defendants.

[FONT=Arial]How do I know if my structure contains a Plasco Plumb-PEX Plumbing System?

The systems were sold by Plasco and Uponor Ltd. using the trade name “Plumb-PEX”. Only systems containing ASTM standard F1807 brass insert fittings and stainless steel clamps are included in this settlement. These systems used flexible plastic pipe called “pex” pipe and brass fittings that are inserted into the pex tubing to form a connection. The brass fittings are secured by a tool that clamps stainless steel (stainless steel clamps) around the outside of the tubing, creating a seal between the pex tubing and the brass insert fittings. The picture below illustrates what the systems look like.

The brass insert fittings and stainless steel clamps were stamped with the letters “P-pex” or “MB pex.”

How do I get more information?
