NMFC 128330 - Regulators | Class 85-100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the specific regulator type against NMFC 128330 and select the correct class within the 85–100 range; construction and configuration can affect the subclass.
2. Protect sensitive features: cap or plug ports, bag the unit to keep debris out, and immobilize adjustment knobs. Use anti-static bags for electronic/voltage regulators.
3. Use sturdy boxes or packages with dense foam or molded inserts around diaphragms and gauges; fill voids and mark This Side Up and Calibrated Component on the label.
4. Shipping multiples? Place individually boxed regulators in a master package with dividers. Example: five fuel-pressure regulators in foam trays within a double-wall carton.

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

• Accurate class selection (85–100) avoids reclass fees and produces tighter rate quotes for auto and machinery service parts.
• Standard boxed/packaged prep reduces damage to threaded ports and diaphragms, lowering claim rates and returns.
• Non-hazardous commodity status cuts paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, accelerating pickup-to-tender cycles.
• Compact, stackable cartons use trailer cube efficiently, improving LTL cost per unit on dealer and maintenance distribution.
