NMFC 132880 - Water Purifiers & Stills | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item fits this listing: non-filter water purifiers (e.g., UV or ozone units) or water stills; filter-based purifiers should be classified separately.
2. Drain and dry boilers and reservoirs, remove glassware or UV quartz sleeves, secure cords and panels, and cap inlets/outlets to prevent leaks and damage.
3. Pack bench-top units in double-wall cartons with foam-in-place; block and brace larger stills on pallets or in crates with shock protection and tip-and-tell indicators.
4. Note NMFC 132880 on the BOL, request needed accessorials (liftgate, inside delivery, limited access for labs), and include serial numbers for valuation.

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

• Using NMFC 132880 reduces reclass risks for non-filter purifiers and stills, keeping invoices accurate and avoiding carrier disputes.
• Protective packing for condensers, sight glasses, and control panels lowers OS&D claims and minimizes lab or production downtime.
• Accurate accessorial planning prevents redelivery charges and delays, improving schedule reliability for installations and service swaps.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and often yields better LTL rates and faster tendering compared to hazmat alternatives.
