NMFC 121790 – Gas Regulator Assemblies | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the build matches the item definition: KD gas regulators enclosed in nested steel hoods, then placed in individual boxes. Cap ports and gauge threads to prevent contamination.
2. Use snug inner packing around the steel hood so the boxed unit can’t rattle. For multi-pack shipments, place boxed units in a master carton and fill voids to stop movement.
3. Declare “Gas Regulator Assemblies, boxed — NMFC 121790, Class 85, Non-Hazardous” on the BOL. No density needed and no hazmat UN numbers required.
4. Palletize boxed units upright on a 48×40 pallet, add corner boards, and stretch-wrap tightly. Avoid stacking heavy machinery on top; regulators are precision assemblies.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing: fixed Class 85 means quicker quoting without density math.
• Lower damage risk: nested steel hoods inside boxes shield diaphragms and springs, reducing claims and replacement costs.
• Simplified compliance: non-hazardous status speeds carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges.
• Consistent SKU-level classification: standard NMFC 121790 labeling improves auditability and helps negotiate better contract rates.
