Tubes made of welded brass

UNSPSC 40181600 Welded brass tubes is a Class code covering brass and copper tubing and fittings that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure maintenance, repair, and system upgrades. State and local buyers source brass service line fittings, accessories, tapping saddles, and lead-free brass components for warehouse stock replenishment and ongoing water system operations.

These entities typically issue requirements contracts, invitation-for-bid notices, and as-needed supply arrangements for bulk inventory or project-specific material needs.
