UNSPSC 40172403: Cast iron pipe cap

Pipe cap made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40172403 Cast iron pipe cap is a Commodity code that encompasses individual pipe fittings and closure components used in sanitary sewer and water infrastructure repair and replacement projects. State and local buyers procure cast iron pipe caps as discrete line items within broader sewer rehabilitation and water system maintenance work, typically bundled with related piping materials such as PVC, HDPE, and vitrified clay pipe removal and replacement. The code serves sanitation districts, county public works departments, and water authorities performing point repairs, pipe bursting, and mainline extensions on aging sewer systems. Issuing bodies are predominantly special-purpose sanitation districts and county-level water and wastewater agencies; these jurisdictions operate multi-year rehabilitation programs that generate recurring demand for standardized pipe components and fittings across multiple project phases and geographic areas within their service territories.
