UNSPSC 40172514: Preinsulated pipe connector

A pipe connector for insulated double layer pipe that is heat protected at the manufacturing plant with insulation material, such as, polyurethane foam, glass fiber, rock wool and others

UNSPSC 40172514 Preinsulated pipe connector is a Commodity code that describes prefabricated, insulated piping assemblies and connecting hardware used in water and sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing work on gravity sewer main replacement, sanitary sewer pipe bursting and point repairs, and water main rehabilitation—specifically the supply and installation of preinsulated or thermally protected connector fittings, service connection wyes, and related junction assemblies that link mainline pipe segments to laterals or between pipe sections of different diameters. The issuing bodies are county sanitation districts and county public works departments, which are the primary solicitors for this work. Pinellas County, Florida, and Santa Clara County, California, both posted recent opportunities spanning sewer rehabilitation and water infrastructure upgrades that involve significant linear footage of new mainline installation requiring coordinated connection work.

Santa Clara County appears as the dominant recent buyer, with two separate infrastructure rehabilitation projects posted in 2026—the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (Sanitation District No. 2-3, ITB due September 17, 2026) involving removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC and HDPE across multiple diameters with service connection fittings including 4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" wyes, and an earlier Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB due May 21, 2026). Pinellas County, Florida posted the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113rd Street Water Main Improvements (ITC 260652ITBC, qualification due October 13, 2026; final bids due November 5, 2026), specifying 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement with hydrant and gate valve installation. Both California and Florida represent active procurement regions for this commodity code, with work concentrated in county-level infrastructure renewal programs requiring coordinated pipe connection and service lateral rehabilitation.
