UNSPSC 40172801: Brass pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of brass

UNSPSC 40172801 Brass pipe elbow is a Commodity code representing individual pipe fittings and components used in water and sewer infrastructure construction projects. State and local governments procure brass elbows as part of larger utility replacement and rehabilitation contracts where they serve as connectors in gravity sewer mains, water distribution systems, and service laterals. The code sees activity primarily from county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal utilities undertaking infrastructure modernization and repair work.
