UNSPSC 40172614: Insulation Coupling

Insulation Coupling mono block type provide dielectric protection from electrolytic corrosion at all points where piping of dissimilar metals are joined (copper to steel, etc.)

UNSPSC 40172614 Insulation Coupling, a Commodity code, encompasses water service and sanitary sewer infrastructure components — including couplings, saddles, clamps, valves, and related fittings — that state and local water and sewer utilities procure for mainline replacement, repair, and new extensions. The code attracts county and municipal water authorities, sanitation districts, and utility authorities as the primary issuing bodies. Representative recent solicitations include Pinellas County, Florida's coordinated Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements project (IFB 260652ITBC, due October 13, 2026 for minimum qualification submittal and November 5, 2026 for final bids), which specified replacement of 6-inch and larger PVC and HDPE pipe with compression couplings and fittings across 6,800 linear feet of water main and 500 linear feet of sanitary sewer; and Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (IFB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026), which called for removal and replacement of vitrified clay and cast iron pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE, including service connection wyes and compression fittings totaling over 1,500 linear feet of mainline work.

Activity under this code concentrates in California and Florida, with secondary procurement by Georgia municipalities. The City of Marietta, Georgia solicited water service saddles, couplings, and valves under annual contract BL121-26 (due September 22, 2026), and DeKalb County, Georgia issued a three-year multiyear contract for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves (ITB 2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026). Jackson County Utility Authority in Mississippi requested materials quotes for the South Central Septic Abatement Project (due July 8, 2026) with BABA certification required and RESTORE grant funding. Issuing bodies range from county water authorities and sanitation districts to municipal public works departments, with multi-year framework agreements and annual supply contracts alongside project-specific component procurement for capital infrastructure rehabilitation.
