About Plumbing Fittings & Supports
The Plumbing Fittings & Supports category (ID 1810) is designed for hardware components used to join, mount, or secure plumbing pipes. This category falls under Hardware > Plumbing and is essential for properly classifying professional-grade piping accessories within your Google Merchant Center product feed.
What belongs in this category
This category includes functional hardware required to configure piping systems. Examples from the US market include various pipe couplings, threaded nipples, push-to-connect brass adapters, pipe elbows, and unions. These items are strictly structural components used for flow regulation or connection, rather than complete fixture units or filtration systems.
What does not belong here
Do not use this category for items that fall under neighbouring categories such as Plumbing Fixtures, Well Supplies, Plumbing Repair Kits, or Plumbing Pipes. Additionally, items like Water Dispensing & Filtration systems, Plumbing Hoses & Supply Lines, Water Timers, or decorative Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts should be mapped to their respective, more specific taxonomy paths rather than general fittings.
When to use subcategories
Always opt for a more specific subcategory when your product falls into a defined group, such as Plumbing Valves, Gaskets & O-Rings, Pipe Caps & Plugs, or In-Wall Carriers & Mounting Frames. Choosing the most granular path helps Google accurately process your product data.
Feed implementation
In your feed, use the numeric ID 1810 or the string Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fittings & Supports. Providing this category manually prevents automated errors and ensures correct attribute requirements for your hardware items.
