UNSPSC 40171710: ABS plastic pipe adapter

Pipe adapter made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40171710 ABS plastic pipe adapter is a Commodity code that covers rigid plastic pipe fittings and connectors used in water and sanitary sewer infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. State and local governments procure these adapters as components of larger utility system upgrades, particularly for connecting dissimilar pipe types or retrofitting aging distribution networks. The code sees activity primarily from water and sanitation districts, county public works departments, and utility authorities undertaking compliance-driven or capacity-expansion projects. Issuing bodies include special-purpose sanitation districts, county water resources departments, and county infrastructure procurement offices managing multi-phase rehabilitation programs.
