What this bond does
The Local 486 offering addresses employer payment security for wages and fringe benefits. Its covered payments follow the requested instrument and agreement, not the work specification for a plumbing or steamfitting installation.
- Who needs it
- An employer arranging the wage and fringe benefit security requested in connection with Local 486 work.
- Who it protects
- Use the union or fund instructions to identify the protected recipients. The employer applying for the bond and the fund receiving its protection have different roles, even when both appear on the same paperwork.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is the applicant the plumber working on the job?
Use the employer entity responsible for the secured payments. An individual worker's trade credentials do not determine which business must apply under the employer agreement.
Will this provide employee health or fidelity insurance?
It is employer payment security. Employee insurance provides benefits under its policy, and ERISA fidelity protection addresses dishonest handling of plan assets. Keep those protections separate from wage and contribution obligations.
Does the option specify a standard Local 486 amount?
No amount or term is stated here. Enter the security requested for your employer and agreement rather than borrowing an amount from a plumbing permit or another union.
Where does Purchase Now take me?
It opens the Local 486 application with Propeller in a new tab. Apply with the employer and recipient details. Once the bond is issued, check it and follow the execution and delivery directions; the application itself is not fund acceptance.
