NMFC 127420 - Swivel Spouts, Water Conductor | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item as “Swivel Spouts, water conductor” on the BOL and include NMFC 127420, Class 77.5, noting whether packaged in boxes or crates.
2. Protect swivel joints and threads: cap all ends, bag each spout, and use partitions or foam to keep the spouts from scuffing inside cartons.
3. Choose packaging by build and quantity: double‑wall boxes with dividers for small faucet spouts; wood crates with blocking and cross‑bracing for larger or heavy-duty spouts.
4. Palletize securely: keep cartons or crates flush with the pallet, add corner boards, and strap or stretch‑wrap to prevent compression on the swivel necks during LTL handling.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass disputes, helping stabilize LTL rates for plumbing and OEM replenishment lanes.
• Boxed or crated packaging aligns with carrier expectations, cutting OS&D risk and lowering hidden costs tied to damage claims and reshipments.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines documentation and avoids hazmat fees, speeding tender-to-pickup cycles for maintenance and distribution orders.
• Clear NMFC mapping (127420) standardizes supplier packaging specs, improving network predictability from factory dispatch to DC receiving.
