UNSPSC 40174908: PVC plastic pipe union

Pipe union made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174908 PVC plastic pipe union is a Commodity code covering fittings and connection components for PVC piping systems used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. State and local governments procure these unions as part of larger sewer and water main rehabilitation, replacement, and extension projects. The code captures the discrete supply of fittings, which are typically embedded in broader construction or infrastructure repair solicitations rather than procured as standalone material orders.

Santa Clara County has been the primary issuing body for recent opportunities tagged to this code, soliciting through sanitation districts and county transportation departments. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026, for structural defect repair work that includes removal and replacement of service connection fittings—specifically twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes—as part of a thirty-five-point sanitary sewer mainline repair program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. Santa Clara County also posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY260694) due May 21, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, which included infrastructure work requiring pipe fittings and related materials. California, specifically the Santa Clara County region, represents the recent geographic concentration of activity under this code. The two opportunities reflect the typical scope: PVC unions and wyes are specified components in municipal wastewater collection and conveyance system upgrades driven by aging infrastructure replacement and regulatory compliance.
