NMFC 101530 – Vent/Radiation Housings | Class 60–70

Note 101532: NOTE-Applies only on housings or enclosures for permanent installation in buildings.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use precise BOL wording: “Housings or Enclosures, radiation or ventilating unit, taken apart, NMFC 101530 (see Note item 101532), in packages; Class 60–70.”
2. Pack taken-apart housings in strong cartons or crates with edge guards; protect flanges, louvers, and corners with foam or corrugated pads, and bag loose hardware separately.
3. Consolidate kits: bundle panels and end bells together, label each bundle with kit ID and piece count to prevent OS&D and streamline receiving at the job site.
4. Palletize with no overhang on a 4‑way entry pallet; block, band, and stretch‑wrap tightly so thin sheet panels don’t flex or shift during LTL cross‑dock moves.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable rating: a defined Class 60–70 band helps carriers quote accurately and reduces reclass risk and surprise charges.
• Lower cube vs. assembled units: shipping housings taken apart increases pallet density, cutting freight spend per delivered kit.
• Cleaner inspections: clear NMFC alignment with the note reference minimizes delays, inspections, and paperwork back‑and‑forth.
• Carrier friendly: non‑hazardous status enables broad LTL carrier options and faster tender-to-pickup cycles.
