How to Use This Classification

  • Identify the exact fixture or plumbing item within the group (e.g., vitreous china sink, cast iron tub, brass faucet) before you book to select the correct subitem and class.
  • State materials and condition on the BOL—porcelain vs. metal vs. PVC, assembled or knocked down—since these details drive the correct listing under this group.
  • Protect fragile fixtures: ship porcelain and vitreous china upright in double-wall cartons or wood crates with foam, corner boards, and shock/tilt indicators; secure to pallets with bands and stretch wrap.
  • For small goods like valves, traps, and fittings, use inner cartons with dividers, then master-carton and palletize; request liftgate or jobsite delivery when shipping to construction sites.

Business Value

  • Avoid costly reclass and inspection fees by mapping each item to the precise plumbers' goods subitem under the 158000 group.
  • Reduce damages on fragile bath fixtures with packaging that carriers accept, improving claim outcomes and cutting OS&D costs.
  • Quote faster and negotiate better LTL rates when materials and packaging (boxed, crated, or palletized) are clearly defined.
  • Support construction schedules by planning accessorials—appointment, jobsite, and liftgate—preventing redelivery charges and delays.
