NMFC 142940 - Well Pipe Caps/Seals, Boxed | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy corrugated cartons (275# test) with cell dividers or foam so steel edges don’t scuff the rubber inserts; bag each cap to keep liners clean.
2. Group and label by size and thread type (e.g., 2-7/8 in EUE, 4-1/2 in LTC) for fast receiving and correct LTL booking at Class 65 under NMFC 142940.
3. Palletize cartons with no overhang; keep a low center of gravity, add corner boards, two straps, and stretch wrap to prevent shifting during linehaul.
4. Add moisture protection like VCI paper or silica gel to keep steel components rust-free, especially for long routes or humid, coastal deliveries.

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