Should I use product_type instead of google_product_category?

No, product_type is for your internal site organization, while google_product_category is mandatory for Google's specific taxonomy mapping.

Does this category require size or color attributes?

No, size and color attributes are typically required for apparel, not for plumbing repair kits.

Can I use the category ID instead of the full path?

Yes, using the numeric ID 2203 is preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors in your data feed.

Plumbing Repair Kits Category Overview

The Plumbing Repair Kits category, identified by ID 2203, is a specific segment within the hardware taxonomy designed for product bundles used to fix or maintain plumbing infrastructure. By utilizing this Google product category, you ensure that your feed data aligns with Google's classification standards, helping to improve ad relevance and performance.

What Belongs Here

This category covers comprehensive kits containing components intended for repairing leaks, drain issues, or faucet functionality. Examples from the US market include:

Pipe repair and restoration wrap kits
Specialized bathroom and kitchen drain repair sets
Complete toilet flush valve and fill valve repair kits
Universal faucet seal and washer maintenance assortments
Trenchless pipe patching and sealant kits

What Does Not Belong Here

Avoid placing individual plumbing parts or bulk raw materials here. If your products fall into the following categories, use those instead: Plumbing Fixtures for complete sinks or toilets, Plumbing Fittings & Supports for connectors, Plumbing Pipes for raw piping, and Plumbing Hoses & Supply Lines for specific feed line components. Additionally, Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts is intended for individual replacements rather than comprehensive repair kits.

There are no subcategories for this level.

Feed Implementation

To classify your items, use either the numeric ID 2203 or the full path: Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Repair Kits. While the attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your hardware items based on automated logic.
