UNSPSC 40172708: PVC plastic pipe cross

Pipe cross made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172708 PVC plastic pipe cross, a Commodity code, represents fittings and connectors used in sanitary sewer system construction and rehabilitation—specifically tees, wyes, and similar junction components that connect PVC mainline pipe to service laterals or branch lines. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on wastewater infrastructure projects where sanitation districts and county public works departments specify PVC SDR26 pipe systems and their associated fittings to replace aging vitrified clay pipe (VCP) or cast iron pipe. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal water or wastewater authorities managing infrastructure rehabilitation and system extensions. The scope involves not just the fittings themselves but their integration into broader sewer mainline replacement and pipe-bursting programs that bundle removal of existing pipe, new PVC installation, and all requisite connection hardware.

Santa Clara County shows recent and active procurement under this code. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026, with bids due September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2—a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program specifying twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a broader scope that includes 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26 mainline pipe, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, and 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26, with completion required in sixty-five working days. Santa Clara County also solicited on the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026), though that scope emphasized surface pavement work rather than sewer fittings. Recent activity concentrates in California, specifically Santa Clara County, where aging wastewater infrastructure and system extensions drive demand for PVC connection fittings and mainline pipe replacement.
