UNSPSC 40173005: Stainless steel pipe half coupling

Pipe half coupling made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173005 Stainless steel pipe half coupling is a Commodity code covering pipe fittings and coupling components used in water and sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these items primarily as components within larger construction and rehabilitation projects involving potable water distribution, sanitary sewer systems, and stormwater management. Recent solicitations show demand driven by aging infrastructure replacement, sewer overflow mitigation, and water main rehabilitation across counties and municipal utilities. Issuing bodies include county water and sanitation districts, municipal water departments, and county public works agencies pursuing coordinated infrastructure improvements. The work reflects replacement and rehabilitation rather than new construction, with stainless steel and other durable materials specified to extend system life and improve water quality.
