NMFC 117550: Chlorinators/Ammoniators, Boxed | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State on the BOL: “Chlorinators, NOI, or Ammoniators in boxes or crates — NMFC 117550, Class 85.” This avoids reclass and speeds carrier acceptance.
2. Drain, purge, and cap all lines; remove any gas cylinders or chemical feed containers. Bag small fittings and secure meters, valves, and probes inside the box or crate.
3. Use dense foam around control heads and injection points, then block and brace the unit so it cannot shift. Add ‘This Side Up’ arrows and shock indicators for delicate controllers.
4. If shipping accessories separately, nest them in inner cartons within the main crate and list each carton count on the packing list for clean piece counts.

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

• Clear NOI description and proper packaging cut down on reclass fees, inspection delays, and damage claims.
• Standardized NMFC item streamlines procurement for municipalities, pool facilities, and OEM service teams coordinating recurring maintenance shipments.
