UNSPSC 40172908: ABS plastic pipe expansion joint

Pipe expansion joint made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172908 ABS plastic pipe expansion joint, a Commodity code, covers specialized piping components used in infrastructure rehabilitation and construction projects where thermal movement, vibration, or structural stress requires joint flexibility. State and local governments procure these expansion joints as part of comprehensive pavement, drainage, and utility system installations, typically bundled into larger civil works contracts rather than as standalone material purchases. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county transportation and public works departments managing major corridor rehabilitation and related infrastructure improvements.
