NMFC 126760 – Fusible Plugs, Brass/Bronze & Tin | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack fusible plugs in sturdy boxes only; use inner poly bags and chip-resistant dividers so small brass/bronze parts with tin cores don’t rub or scratch.
2. Select cartons rated for the load (32 ECT or 44 ECT for heavier counts), keep each box manageable for handlers (often under 65 lb), and seal using the H-tape method.
3. Mark the BOL: “Fusible plugs, brass or bronze and tin combined – NMFC 126760 – Class 100 – Non-hazardous,” and include piece counts and net weight for clean audits.
4. Palletize tightly: fill voids, add corner boards, and wrap to prevent migration of small parts. Example: 1,000 plugs split into four boxed layers on a 40x48 pallet.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating—no density formulas—reducing reclass fees and speeding quotes.
• Boxed packing standardizes handling across carriers, lowering damage risks and avoiding special-handling charges.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and keeps compliance simple for domestic LTL lanes.
• Consistent NMFC use streamlines procurement and freight audits for OEMs and MRO suppliers shipping safety plugs.
