NMFC 26200 - Furnace Coils, Pipe | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as “Furnace Coils, Pipe — NMFC 26200” on the BOL, include piece count, packaging type (pallet, crate, coil wrap), and note coil orientation (eye-to-sky or eye-to-side).
2. Protect bare metal with VCI wrap plus poly, add edge protectors, cap pipe ends, and band to a sturdy 4‑way pallet with at least two steel straps; use chocks and “Do Not Stack” cones.
3. Provide specs for quoting and handling: ID/OD, wall thickness, alloy (copper, steel, stainless), and the max single‑piece weight and dimensions.
4. Block and brace to stop roll or shift; for crated coils, add fork pockets and lag down the base, ensuring zero pallet overhang to avoid reweigh and damage.

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

• Correct NMFC naming and clear packaging notes reduce reclass, rebills, and admin time while keeping LTL carriers aligned.
• Durable coil protection (VCI, caps, edge guards) lowers corrosion and crush claims, preventing costly downtime for HVAC and boiler service teams.
• Unitize multiple coils on one pallet to cut handling touches and capture better LTL rates through improved handling characteristics.
• Complete specs help carriers choose proper equipment and avoid OS&D fees, improving delivery reliability to job sites and warehouses.
