Category Overview
The Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts category, assigned ID 504635, is a specific classification within the Hardware taxonomy. It is designed for individual components and repair hardware that maintain or enhance plumbing fixtures.
Included Products
This category includes functional hardware required for the operation and repair of plumbing fixtures. Based on examples from the US market, this covers:
- Replacement cartridges and internal valve components for faucets.
- Toilet maintenance items such as fill valves, flappers, and flush assembly parts.
- Repair kits for tub spout diverters and faucet mechanisms like ball seats and springs.
- Structural components for drainage systems, including closet flange rings, tailpieces, and tee connectors.
- Specific replacement hardware like pop-up ball rod assemblies and tubular elbows.
Exclusions
Do not place products here if they fall into neighbouring categories. Specifically, full Plumbing Fixtures, general Well Supplies, or complete Plumbing Pipes belong in their own dedicated categories. Additionally, if your item is a Plumbing Hoses & Supply Line, Plumbing Fitting & Support, or a complete Plumbing Repair Kit, use the corresponding category instead of this one.
Subcategory Selection
Always prioritize a deeper subcategory if your product fits into a specific segment, such as Drain Components, Faucet Accessories, or Shower Parts, rather than using the broader 504635 category.
Feed Implementation
Use the value 504635 or the full path Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts. Remember that this attribute is optional, though manual assignment improves accuracy, and it remains distinct from your internal product_type attribute.
