UNSPSC 40173008: ABS plastic pipe half coupling

Pipe cap made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40173008 ABS plastic pipe half coupling is a Commodity code that frames water and sewer infrastructure components procured by state and local water utilities and sanitation districts for mainline replacement, service connection fittings, and system extensions. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code—or related codes in the piping family—to tag work involving removal and replacement of deteriorated cast iron, vitrified clay, and galvanized pipe with modern materials including PVC, HDPE, and related fittings. The issuing bodies are county water authorities, sanitation districts, municipal water departments, and special-purpose utility districts performing infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion work. These buyers operate under long-term capital improvement programs targeting sanitary sewer overflows, water quality improvements, and system lifecycle extension.
