How to Use This Classification
- Use this grouping reference for non-earthen conduits, pipe, tubing, smokestack sections, and fittings; check Note item 50752 and select the exact item by material and form.
- Bundle long lengths on skids with wood chocks, end caps, and multiple steel bands; mark overall length for carriers and note if pieces over 8-12 ft.
- Box or crate loose fittings and elbows; protect threaded or coated ends with caps and separators to prevent abrasion and claim disputes.
- For mixed materials in one shipment, segregate by type and packaging (bundles vs crates) and list counts per package on the BOL referencing NMFC 50750.
Business Value
- Reduce reclass exposure by signaling the non-earthen conduit group and guiding carriers to the correct specific item.
- Improve rate accuracy on long freight by declaring bundle lengths and packaging upfront, minimizing oversize add-ons.
- Cut damages with end caps, dunnage, and rigid crating for bulky smokestack sections, lowering claim costs.
- Streamline purchasing-to-logistics handoff: one NMFC reference covers PVC conduit, metal pipe, composite tubing, and fittings.
