UNSPSC 40172504: Ductile iron pipe connector

Pipe connector made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40172504 Ductile iron pipe connector is a Commodity code that covers fittings and connectors used to join and adapt pipe segments in municipal water and sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these components as materials within larger infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement contracts, where they are specified alongside primary pipe materials, valves, hydrants, and related appurtenances. The issuing bodies are county sanitation districts, county infrastructure departments, and municipal water utilities undertaking gravity sewer main replacement, water main rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer defect repair. These connectors appear as line items or material specifications within unit-price or lump-sum construction contracts rather than as standalone procurement actions.
