UNSPSC 40173705 Malleable iron pipe reducing flange (Commodity) covers flanged pipe fittings and joint restraining devices that state and local water utilities, public works departments, and transit authorities procure to support water distribution infrastructure, stormwater systems, and pavement rehabilitation projects.
