Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
34790.00 Framing, wall or wall section, with installed water supply and drain lines 250

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Crate upright on a reinforced skid, brace stud bays and block plumbing runs, cap all supply/drain stubs, and label “Do Not Stack” and “Keep Upright.”
  2. Pad pipes with foam sleeves and corner guards; strap through studs, never over valves or traps. Example: 8' x 4' bath wall strapped at three points to prevent racking.
  3. Purge and dry lines before pickup to avoid leaks or freeze risk; include a pressure-test sheet and simple riser diagram; photo-document condition pre-shipment.
  4. Book LTL at NMFC 34790, Class 250. Add delivery appointment and liftgate if needed, or choose flatbed for oversized sections and constrained jobsites.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NMFC 34790 usage prevents reclass fees and keeps Class 250 rate expectations consistent for prefab MEP wall sections.
  • Enhanced pipe protection reduces in-transit damage, cutting rework and schedule slippage on high-cost builds.
  • Jobsite-ready crating and clear labels speed dock handling, lowering detention and accessorials.
  • Clean BOLs—NMFC 34790 with crate count—accelerate receiving and claims, improving cash flow and vendor scores.
